Out of Harms Way

OUT OF HARM’S WAY The arsenal environment was what I did not like. I went as a caregiver to make everything right. I straighten her world to be just as mine. The house was a radiance of modern time and the landscaped intensified. She came home and was very surprised. She loved her new interior and the scenery put twilights in her eyes. Was I right for giving her a loving home? Of course, I was but why did everything go wrong. She had lived alone for about ten years. Nothing had ever happen in her neighborhood. Because I made her house such a loving place, she came susceptible to burglary. They ramshackle the place and she exclaimed to me you gave it to much beauty. I was right but the world is wrong. I did not argue with her at all. This time she would make her choices. Today, she is safe and free from harm. A security system was installed and her house remains adorable.
