Moving in...
New Neighbor
by Faith Williams
"It appears we're getting a new neighbor," said Bob to his wife as he peered out the kitchen window.
"Oh?"
"Yeah, they're getting things ready."
The following morning, car after car made their way past Bob.
"Honey, you should see all these people for the newcomer."
"That is impressive," she said, noting the number of cars.
He glanced out the window later in the day. "Looks like our neighbor is settled into his new home."
"As long as he's as quiet as the rest of the bunch."
Smiling, he looked out at the cemetery, "I have no doubt, my dear."
