Haimus was glad that the new tenants were savvy people. He regretted their having a tabby cat. Why not a more hostile type?
His once tepid brew is out the window, undrank, surely chilled.
Such is life. For him no longer, he only observes.

The 'tepid' prompt word and the picture were selected by Grandma.

Her Rules: Use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words. It doesn’t have to be exactly 140, just not more.
Using the prompt word is not required but Grandma smiles bigger if we do.

Not unlike you, Jim, this Succinctly Yours "look at pictured life" is the cat's meow! (<--cLiCkY-cLiCkY for the real deal!)
Good story, Jim! It's good that now he only observes, rather than moaning and shaking chains, so as not to scare away the new savvy tenants.
Funny story, made me laugh.
The window is exactly the same as the ones in the old hen house in my mother's garden.
Made me long home.

If I'm stuck observing in the afterlife, I want my coffee to be hot. I'd better take my coffee warmer with me, as I'd prefer to skip the alternative method of warming it. :D
