Roshan’s tale

Roshan was riding home. His heart and his gas cylinder were both light.

Roshan’s egg roll food cart had done brisk business that day. His customers had lavished praise on his cooking. His cooking was the same, but they found the rolls scrumptious because of their lockdown break.

But today, Roshan’s heart and cylinder were both light.
