40/365 The Irish Couple Across the Hall

He was a fireman, tall, with wavy black hair. She was short, a great deal older, and rarely left their apartment. They did a lot of drinking, a lot of fighting. Their ancient parrot loved them and hated everyone else.

But I'll bet they could sing and told great stories. Maybe the parrot found everyone else bland in comparison.

LOL...that's quite possible. I was a child and never gave a thought to their history: How did they come to be together? Why did they (he) stay? Now I'm not a child, and thanks to this project, I wish I had some answers.

PS: They didn't sing. If they had, I'd have been over there more often.
