The Story - Old Mr. Carello

Introduction:

Old Mr. Carello had lived in the flat above ours for as long as I could remember. He’d always looked the same. Grey dishevelled hair standing on end, a shaky leg and an eye patch over his left eye.

“Why does he walk like that?” I’d asked Mum once.

“Oh darling, it’s because of his prosthetic leg. I think it got amputated in the war.”
“And the eye?” I asked.

“I’m not sure. I suppose that could have been from the war too. I don’t like to ask.”
