Doo doo doo, the call was disconnected.
The elderly woman moved slowly to the bedroom, rummaging through the bottom of a box to find a photo album. Her shriveled hands, marked by the passage of time, gently sifted through the items in the box, finally stopping at an old photo album.
On the title page of the album, a young couple and a baby in their arms came into view.
The elderly woman stared blankly for a while, before pulling herself back from her thoughts, gently placing the album down, and then retrieving a thin property deed from the bottom of the album.
She didn't open the property deed, but holding it, she walked unsteadily to the living room, putting it into a woven shopping bag on the hallway table.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly slapped her forehead and wobbled back to the room, searching out a bankbook, and stuffed it into the bag as well.
She sat at home for a while, her eyes blankly staring at the clock on the wall.
