A Tale of Suspicion and Anxiety:
It is been three months ago since I moved my new house. I have hardly talked to my neighbors.
Just saying hi in the hallway and chatting a bit about boring stuff like taking out the trash.
But today was different.
I accidentally cut myself while cooking and it would not stop bleeding.
I needed help.
So I messaged my neighbor. Luckily, he showed up quickly and helped me fix my cut.
While we talked, he started asking lots of personal questions, which felt weird.
I did not think much of it at first,
But then he kept asking about my job and why I am always home?
I invited him and his girlfriend over for visit sometime.
But he seemed hesitant about it. He said she is shy, which struck me as odd.
After he left,
I could not shake off his strange feeling. I wondered why he acted so strangely.
Did I say something wrong?
It left me feeling uneasy as the night went on.
