I know he’s there. I know he’s watching.

Now my son is dead. My neighbour is not.

And I’m going to find out why.

Ratings and reviews

a decent story but it goes back and forth in time leaving much of the story a confusing mystery until the end and doesn't live up to the build-up. Just seemed very anti-climactic after building up such a sense of excitement.

It's a great piece of writing.
