30. Trolly man

He’s not a guy that could tolerate dealing with the general public

And even though he’s known by the kids of the area, they still throw trollys into the lake.

Maybe they do this out of respect, for without them, he wouldn’t have a job.

Each morning he walks round the lake with a grappling hook attached to a long thin rope

Fishing for trollys

Standing on the water’s edge casting that hook out to where wheels break the surface and the steel grill lay just out of air’s reach.

After gathering as many as he can

He walks them back to the supermarket and parks them outside.

There they stay

Waiting for their next trip to the lake
