I was asked to make a set of burglary tools. I knew he wouldn't part with it for his life. Later, after everything went to hell, I found his toy in the street. But I fixed it anyway! And gave it back to the boy. They make them from plastic that can't be glued. One day a kid brought an action figure with a broken arm. Mostly old women who would use the same meat grinder all their life if only they could.

And they used to dump all that broke into the trash! I ran a repair business, but I couldn't make a good living with just a couple customers a day. Where is he now? What is he doing? Is he still alive? If he is, I'm gonna find him one day. Every now and then I think about that boy. All I cared about was burned to the ground. I figure they couldn't force the shop door, so they just tossed a Molotov through the window. They came for me when I was upstairs with my wife, fast asleep. I wish I knew those customers wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. I found the same toy in the street again after all went to hell. I fixed it - trade secret - and when he saw it, his smile lit up the whole room.

Oh my, I said, this is serious, and his eyes welled up and I had no heart to turn him down, so I just told him to return the next day. One day a little boy brought his action figure with a broken arm. I had a hard time living off my workshop, people were dropping by once or twice a day, mostly like that old lady who had been using the same iron since she was a young bride and the world was brighter. In the past, they just tossed out anything that broke. If you have some junk lying around, I could use it to make this place more habitable. Maybe I could stay here with you? I'm handy with all kinds of tools.
