The curious garment – Living with Bob Column 02 !!!

Bob and I are living in an 2 ½ room-apartment in an old building with high ceilings and large doors. The hallway’s walls haven’t been painted since more than 30 years, I guess.

Walking through this gippy tummy brown coloured building with my pink sneakers, the I-Pod in the one hand and my eye-catching friend BOB at the other hand, sometimes makes me feel like being a futuristic figure in an 80ies setting.

But Iam not referring to the freaky flashy 80ies, where everyone wore a pair of leggings and an extremely untidy hair style with washed out coloration. Propably my pink sneakers and I  wouldn’t even attracted attention then. I mean the dull side of the 80ies, that made you think about cold war and other serious stuff.

But most times I don’t even mind the brown walls. I’m just going along. But then, one day, there was a curious garment in our hallway...

A classic fur coat hung with its coat hanger between the letterboxes. It didn’t have no place in there. Wouldn’t you know it. Nevertheless, it was there.

Next day the coat was still in the house, but it hung over the banister. I really hold fur coats cheap – for the reason of Bob’s sake alone –  but this wasn’t fair in my view.  That is why I fixed it at a stair before we left the house.

When Bob and I came back, the coat lay on the cellar stairway’s steps. Bob said: Maybe he wants to go into the cellar? I found that really ridiculous. But indeed next day the fur coat was gone.

And it just fade away, though it was a very special thing. But the coat was simply gone and no one wasted much thought on it, not even Bob.

But then yesterday! Yestarday Bob came up from the cellar. He was very excited, since he discovered the fur coat there. Never I had been to the cellar, but I wanted to see it again.

And it was true. This curious garment hang there in front of a cellar door with all the other abandoned stuff. Old suitcases, dumped hardware, half of a shoe.

And suddenly the curious fur coat didn’t look that abandoned and incongruous anymore...

Last but not least BOB’s special tip: You may look up all of my apish adventures here on MMORPG-BOB.COM. And never forget: Johnny Head-in-the-Air, have a look at your surrounding, maybe one day you’ll find a precious or curious thing.
