Friday Fictioneers – The Best House on the Street

They don’t celebrate Christmas. No lights, no inflatable Santa in the front garden. The lack of ostentation is ostentatious. What kind of person doesn’t embrace the festive season? A bad person, obviously. These are bad people, and bad people should not live in the best house on the street. I think they may be foreign.

Comings and goings disturb the peace at all times of the day and night, and giggling on the darkened porch. Low morals, definitely.

It’s my duty to report them, that’s for sure. Then maybe I’ll get to move into the best house on the street.
