This story is talking about a man called Jimmy Brennan, main character, who was seventy-six years old. I can tell that he was a lonely man as it was his seventy-six birthday but no one was there to celebrate his birthday. Not even anyone had sent a letter to him to wish him happy birthday. He was alone at home. He was recalling how last time he lived with Ellen. He did a big mistake by giving up with Ellen and broke up with her. He was so immature for doing this. By giving up Ellen, he did not think about Ellen's feelings and just thinking about himself to find an escape route.

However after all, he had known his mistake and was regretted for what he did. He kept thinking that Ellen was still with him, he even talk and able to see her all the time. He was in love with Ellen and Ellen was deep in his heart. Hence, he misses Ellen so much that he had some illness making him talking to Ellen the “old ghost”. This seem that he was having some mental problems as he was able to see Ellen. I think it was because he always talking to “Ellen” who was not there, thus no one went near him. Hence, no one celebrates Birthday with him.

This story is an interesting one I look forward for another story.
