Old Mario
Mario was a nice man. He only had a little white hair and he lost that near the end
anyway. He was old and sunny and always gave me this big smile as he sat
outside, even when he hardly had any strength left. I was too young to understand but
now when I think about it, it probably took him all he had in him to give me that big
smile.
One day my mom said Mario was sick and we were gonna cheer him up.
We made some banana bread and I didn’t really want to give it to him because it
smelled so good and it felt so hot and it was rightfully mine, anyhow, but me and my
mom ended up bringing it next door anyway. It was dark and I didn’t feel so great
being in there, especially when I saw old Mario crumpled up in a fading green couch
like he was a card that somebody had forgotten between the cushions. And just then
when I thought he might disappear into that couch forever, his old face cracked into a
grin and I knew that he was going to be alright after all.
Soon after, bald old Mario disappeared into his couch with my banana
bread and the smile that had always belonged to me.

Actually, I thought it was about Super Mario, too.
But I was wrong.
xD
You write beautifully.
