Meter Man by Tyd Up

“Meter Man!”

“Meter reader!”

Bill figured that he had given enough notice. No dogs were barking so he used his key and went in. The meter was in the basement. A light was on in the basement, but no one was moving around.

At the base of the stairs a door led to the utility portion of the basement. Bill opened it and stopped dead.

“Here we are. It looks like they’re ready for you.”

I looked around, nervous. For a moment I froze, unable to exit the car. I took a deep breath and jumped out before I could change my mind. I was committed now. My cover-up caught a breeze and I pulled it shut. Not that it mattered in the long run. In just a few minutes I would have to drop the robe.
