He Was the Friendly Neighbour… Until The Camera Caught This (5 of 6)

“I didn’t want to scare you.”

But we were scared. Now it wasn’t just creepy. It was a pattern.

The next camera clip showed something else. A note he’d dropped near the window.

“I belong here.”

That changed everything.

We got the restraining order. But Marcus was gone.

Vanished.

A week later, a package arrived. No return address. Inside: a flannel shirt and a note.

“Thank you for letting me pretend.”

Months passed.

Until the day he reappeared. Walked right up our street like nothing had happened. Dropped off a bag on a neighbor’s porch.
