When I walked out the door three teen boys who had been standing by the wall at the foot of my driveway over-casually sauntered away

And maybe they were being naughty and improper but there’s nothing there for them to really menace and the neighborhood has packs of teen boys now. Vitality!

I cannot emphasize enough that when I first moved in this neighborhood was for fuckups and people who couldn’t afford any closer in if it had to be good
