    Abby checked the address for the hundredth time. She was at the right place, but there was no sign of life anywhere. The house reminded her of one of the haunted houses she use to visit as a she was a kid. She took a deep breath, opened the door of her car, and got out. To say the old house needed some work would be an understatement. The paint on the sides was faded and chipped. The concrete walk was covered with moss, dirt and grass. The hedges that filled the yard were in dire need of trimming and, before stepping up the first step, she seriously thought about turning around and running. Unfortunately, she could not run, because she had nowhere to go. Her husband had left her, her last job closed and relocated to Mexico, so she was beyond desperate. She stepped up the rickety steps and on to the porch. She chuckled when she reached for the doorbell, all she could think about was Uncle Fester was about to open the door. She rang the doorbell and stepped back. The job was for an adult caregiver for an elderly couple. It was a far cry from her last job in the manufacturing industry, but it was the only interview she had received from the many resumes and applications she had sent out. She waited patiently, and began to get nervous as she heard footsteps coming towards the door. She was pleasantly surprised when the door opened. On the other side was a very good looking man, with a welcoming smile. He opened the door and invited her inside. She smiled and entered the house. ...

She guessed it was from the early 1900’s and when she was asked to sit, she sat as slowly and gently as she could. A fire roared in the open fireplace and the smell of oak wood filled the room. The gentleman introduced himself as Quinton Jacobson. He explained that the job was taking care of his elderly parents Ruth and Jack. Both were in the mid-nineties and even though they got around good, needed someone to watch out for them and take care of the chores around the house. He explained that the job would be a live in position, but he would be around every day or two and would give a break to the successful candidate while he was there. Abby nodded and smiled as Quinton went through the day to day responsibilities. The job included, cooking, cleaning the house and yard, assuring his parent’s medication was administered when needed and to just be there if either needed her. Once he had finished, he asked her to give a little information about herself. Abby began with the basics. She told him she was twenty-eight years old, single, and currently looking not only for a job but also a permanent place to live. She told him of her work experience and how she had worked her way up to a shift supervisor until the plant closed. She told him about marrying her high school sweetheart right after graduation ...
