Building

No one ever talked to him, they thought him too strange. They thought he wanted to be alone. They thought him an ogre of sorts, the kids in the building would tease and laugh. They only saw him in the hall with his bag of trash. He had everything delivered. Someone said he spoke once to the manager. Neighbors were certain he liked being a loner, but even his cat knew that was wrong, the times when he cried quietly in the dark.
