Task

Most grateful for his blessed life, Enrique adored his wife and family, and feared straying from God's Holy Commandments.

The alcoholic widow who employed him as her estate groundskeeper was getting too friendly, and Enrique felt embarrassed by her flirtatious attention. He needed to safely discourage her.

The next day, while Enrique was digging a hole for a new tree, his boss approached. "Wow, look how fast you are. And, so strong!" She stood to the side as Enrique  stopped digging, then he leaned on his shovel for a quick break.

"Thank you, I'm doing okay, all things considered. Still not the same after the operations."

"Operations?", that got the widow's attention. "What happened to you?"

'"Oh, it's years ago now. Bad car accident." Enrique pointedly stared down to his groin. "They had to put me back together like a Lego set with missing pieces.", he chuckled, having some fun now.

"Oh. But, you're okay? I mean, your kids..." Enrique interrupted, "Yes, mostly okay, but you don't want to see the scars. My kids, they're my miracles of modern science, right?"

Seeing the clear frown of disappointment on his boss's face as she walked away, Enrique figured that should take care of it, returning to his task at hand.
