Talking to Pongsip, no not Pong.
Pong was my best friend, I stiil hear his laugh.
He died, drunken driving , no am assured not responsible.
Pong did not listen to me, or his mother on that fateful night.
His family are friends and know it was not my fault.
So, where were we?
Ah Pongsip.
Another friend, a builder, one I employ to sort out minor problems in our house.
Yes , the one who took me to Paradise Shopping centre on a whim of mine.
"Ben ai?," .
"Paradise," well you know the rest.
Pongsip is ill, 57 years old and unable to physically work.
I told him to stop, employ younger people and give instructions
Pongsip replied:
" I offer 500 Baht a day, but no workers.".
"I work with old men and they cannot fulfill,".
"Retire , please friend!"
"Cannot, I have no money.".

Not flash fiction, reality! Mundane reality to be fair. I can think of plenty of 57 yo's that have no money and can't afford to retire in the West.
