100 Worder: Inside Looking Out
Michael Hennessy
A bucket load of water with a dash of vinegar
It had started with a ladder, bucket and a squeegee.
All his life Lenny had been on the outside looking in at the rich through their gracious windows.
Now, his window cleaning business had given him an even bigger house than those of his well-heeled clientele.
He was finally on the inside looking out, just like them.
But, unlike them, he had failed to share his hard-earned wealth with the taxman.
Instead of admiring his sun-dappled swimming pool, he was gazing at the dismal exercise yard below and high perimeter wall beyond.
How he wished he had his ladder now.
