That Number

Freeverse

A man has moved to number thirteen, which a previous resident had left - to go to hospital. She died there. That apartment, see? Number thirteen. This man is a preacher guy - Christian. Look forward to challenging his beliefs in spirity things. He may go mad if I get to take on his fancies. He’s in number thirteen, see? That can bring luck - sometimes good, but often bad. He may be a nice guy. Who knows? But he is at number thirteen.

and "he was a most peculiar man, he lived all alone within a house within a room" at number 13.

It is hard to get away from believing in "spirity" things.
