Flash Fiction #176

SERENITY

He loved going for a walk, or sitting, in the graveyard beside his house, for solitude or inspiration as he worked on his book.  The residents were quiet and well-behaved, so unlike his redneck neighbors on the other side.

Bitch, bitch, bitch;
Your grass is too long…. So he mowed it.
I’m on the night shift this week. You woke me.
And that harpy wife of his – nude back yard sunbathing??! – on a street of two-story houses.  😯
That was a sight that couldn’t be unseen.  Claimed she had an 18-year-old’s body, but got it all wrinkled.

They get my goat.

    Neighbours do have a way of ruining our peace and quiet. And – did ya ever notice, it ain’t the hot chicks and buff men who like to strip down! It’s always the old fatties and the wrinklies – why? Coz they don’t give a shit…

  4. Ha… I prefer a world where neighbors see without seeing as it should be…

  6. I like rednecked neighbors.
    Even the complaining ones.
    And I like second story windows,
    But I don’t like un-ironed skin particularly.
    Ha.
