New Neighbor
Albert saw a moving van drive up outside the house next door one day while he and June were sitting outside. The house had been vacant for a few months after its former neighbors moved into a care facility.
Albert was curious about the new people who would be living next door. They had noticed an increase in the number of wealthy urban residents wishing to “get back to nature” since the outbreak. They rarely lasted very long. He wondered whether this newcomer would be more committed to living in the highlands or just a blow-in from New York.
