I first became aware that the people in my neighborhood were strange
when I started to take daily walks. I notice that some of them never come
out of their houses. I never see them took their newspapers in; somehow
the newspapers seem to slithered, like a snake, inside. Some days their
cars are gone for a few hours, yet I have never see them going from their
houses to their cars. Some of my neighbors, on the other hand, never seem
to go into their houses. No matter what time of day I patrolled the
neighborhood, there they are on the porch or front lawn or driveway. Back
then, I often wonder if I was the only normal one in the neighborhood.
Finally, I could not took it anymore, and I move.
