The Umbrella Man

It’s a very short story of a man and his burden of responsibilities.

On a rainy morning,

It was raining hard again.He looked through the window; perhaps a storm was coming.He took his umbrella and started walking towards the door. While walking, he tried to have a look at the umbrella. It’s one of those big umbrellas that can be used as a shed as well as a walking stick. It has left it’s best days behind but still it’s not out of date. There are signs of rusts on all over the metal parts and there are numerous holes in the fabric too. He questioned himself dubiously, can it stand another rain and upcoming storms? It helped him and his family to find shelter in many rains, storms and sizzling summers but can it weather another upcoming season of heavy rains?

He lost his confidence but he could not leave it.He thought that he had no choice .

Just when he opened the door, his son called from behind. He looked back and there was his son standing with a brand new umbrella and a sense of newly found responsibility. He smiled smirkingly and turned back into the house..
