He Was the Friendly Neighbour… Until The Camera Caught This (6 of 6)
Inside it? A notebook.
Filled with journal entries. Grief. Fantasy. Loneliness.
“I don’t want to hurt anyone. I just want to matter.”
He was placed in long-term care. We visited once. He thanked us.
Sometimes, danger doesn’t knock. It slides quietly through a side door.
But so does pain.
We built fences. And conversations.
And we never leave the laundry window open anymore.
