Over the course of the summer the neighbors house disappeared behind a hedge of spiral sand heaps each corresponding to a hole of equal but reverse volume.
Our best guess is the neighbor buried something as a method of hiding it from someone they thought may have occasion to look for it, and has in the end succeeded, only in hiding it (and very successfully I might add) from themselves.
Pity is, we’ve grown so much fonder of the Confederacy of Dunce Caps than we ever really were of the neighbor- and odds are- they’re getting close…

The book I referenced A Confederacy Of Dunces just may have spawned one. Its an obscure book, but I know it has a cult following. oh, but the Caps part is strictly for this story purposes.. hahahha

Dear Violet,
I have to wonder what’s hidden. They don’t sound like endearing neighbors in any event. Nicely done.
Shalom,

I get the feeling it’s something we’d all say, “are you serious?” when we found out…
