Nestled in a quiet corner of Everwinter Avenue, a small, peacful brown bricked house, lay, home to a beautiful girl named Evelyn. And yet, Evelyn was far from at peace.

My across-the-street neighbor killed someone. This is my evidence.
She brought home a new trash can, a rake, and a shovel. One day, she left
the house with a small suitcase and came back with a huge crate. Normally,

A small tap
I see a hand
It’s them...
He stands by the door with the phone
Two people come up
They smile they chat loudly
They’re wearing hoodies he’s wearing a Hoodie
They exchange gifts
Could be drugs or something much more sinister
He’s always having a bonfire or a barbecue
He’s always excited and high
He’s too super friendly
He’s always got flashy cars for what he earns in a supermarket...

“I have been seeing a car, sitting in the driveway of my neighbors yard for around fifteen days now. It never moves. Its sketchy.” I say to my therapist.
“You’re paranoid, it must be a work car that only drives during the night.” She answers.
“I am not paranoid, I have been up all night before. I watch that very car.” I respond. “I know there is something wrong with her,” I explain to my therapist...
In a stereotypical manner he looked out his window through a crack in the blinds, one hand on the hip, the other spreading the blinds a part. He called over his shoulder to his wife in the kitchen, “Dave’s at it again!”
Rolling her eyes she marched into the front room chastising him, “Would you just leave him alone, give him the privacy you would want!”
He didn’t even care to look back at her to...
Every single day, almost like clockwork, this lady would get up, groan and scream at whatever she felt like. Then, she would proceed to hit something, another scream followed, then silence for around half an hour. After silence she would start her motorcycle, drive off around 2am and return around 6 with a duffel bag. I had to live next to this woman. And I was beginning to think, she was up to no...
