Thanks Panagiota, I am usually not a funny writer, my style mostly dark and death, but this was fun to write ~

David, yes it is both when you think about it, touching thinking about the old guy still looking for his wife and creepy thinking about the poor old lady waking to find a stranger cuddled up in her bed ! Thanks for visiting !
