My neighbor, Bryce, never liked me, had it out for me ever since I moved in. At first, I felt offended. After all, I’m a likable person. That was until Bryce’s next door neighbor, Mrs. Shaw, told me, “Don’t you worry, my dear, that boy hates everybody. You know, I heard he’s protesting the government, by putting a color flower bed out front?”
I raised my brow, “Wait, I thought the evil wizard stole all the colors of the world.” Mrs. Shaw just shrugged.
One morning, at the worst possible hour, 5 am, knocks woke me up. I opened the door to find three police officers standing outside my door. Groggily, I said, “May I help you, officers?”
They pointed at something on the curb. It was a caravan, splashed in the colors of rainbow, on top was a planter full of pink flower. I gasped, Mrs. Shaw wasn’t lying about the flower bed. It’s real and painted on the side was my face. “It’s not mine,” were the only words that came out of my mouth.

That would be a shock. Especially at 5 o’clock in the morning. I think she dislikes her neighbor quite a bit right now! Funny..not not to her.

Yeah, I bet she now will seek revenge assuming she doesn’t land herself in the slammer. Thank you for reading. 🙂
