Jerry Martin has a creative imagination, perhaps too creative. When a peculiar old man pulls up to Jerry's quiet suburban home in a stretch limo and asks if he can come inside, his request leaves Jerry perplexed yet curious. The old man claims he once lived in the house some years ago and in a hasty move, had accidentally left something of sentimental value behind. Now he would like it back and will pay Jerry for his troubles if he's allowed to go inside and retrieve it. The only catch is that Jerry cannot know what it is.

This is a short story taken from this author's book of short stories titles Death And Other Little Inconveniences.
