I pulled into the old driveway, bathing the front of my house in the light from the car.I turned it off and opened my door, taking a deep breath of the forest air as I stood up.I smiled as my dog came running out from the backyard at the sound of my arrival.He jumped up and licked my face, knocking my briefcase to the ground.I laughed as I petted him on the head.I gathered my things and whistled for the dog to follow me up the path to my home.I stopped at the porch to look at the clear night sky, taking it all in.I shook my keys in the dark until I found the right one.Did I hear someone laughing inside? That’s strange, I thought.I live alone…I turned the knob and carefully stepped inside.“SURPRISE!” everyone shouted as I turned on the light.“Happy Birthday, Jerry!” I laughed as familiar faces surrounded me and patted me on the back.
