The strange man in the hidden house at the end of the road was a massive hoarder. He kept everything. Newspapers, plastic bottles and plastic bags especially. I decided to call to see him because although everyone in the village thought his home was an eyesore, I really wanted to meet him and talk to him. He was extremely mannerly and polite and spoke with such precision. I was saddened when I saw the distraught on his face. He so desperately wanted help. So I helped him. I'd worked in quite tough jobs in the past including oil tank installation, so felt I was suited to such a physical job. I rounded up the villagers and we cut down trees and took away tonnes of rubbish. With the yard clear we could tackle the house but what we saw shocked us to the core. His house had no floor. He had to climb stacks of paper to get around the house. There was one foot of space between the top of the pile of newspapers to the ceiling. I advised the gentleman that he would need to speak to a councillor because this was truly incredible. He could not part with these items yet he wanted to. So he made an appointment. Hopefully he will be calling on us to help clear out his house. |
