One possible version
It was a cold winter night when Bob came out of jail. After
twenty vears behind bars, he felt like a stranaer to the city and everyone in it. Lost and heloless, he didn't know where to go or whom to go to. A year after he had been arrested, his wife had left him and taken their daughter with her. Former good
friends had cut all contact with him.
“Is there anyone here who still thinks of me " he wondered bitterly. Recalling the night twenty years earlier that had completely changed his life, he wandered blindly through the streets. In the dim light of a streetlamp,he noticed an old man sitting on a bench. "Another lonely man, just like me," he thought to himself.
"Bob," the old man looked up. Although twenty years had passed, he could still recognize that face-Jimmy's face. "I'm here for our meeting, though I don't know if you still want it. Anyway, welcome home, buddy!”
"Long time no see," murmured Bob, his voice trembling. The uncertainty was gone. He now had a home.
