Alan’s new neighbours

The new neighbours seem nice.

They moved from Chelmsford. Big inheritance payout on her mum’s side. Small family, no siblings. 

She’s got one of those dogs that don’t walk. The type that peek out of a handbag, and he’s got a job in London. Finance, or insurance; something to do with computers. 

They’re really into their fitness. I hear them banging and panting away at all hours. Must be weightlifting or one of those Peloton thingies. 

Pauline said they’re vegan.

Very sociable. I see them talking to everyone. Always on the phone.

We’ll catch up eventually, I’m sure we will.

Hey, Listen!

    Meeting new people is always a curiosity, I hope they really are nice. I wonder when the children will arrive?

    Ironic, the MC knows so much about the new neighbors (too much time on her/his hands?) but the new neighbors probably don’t even know he/she exists (too little time to find out.)

    They are very mysterious neighbours. I love the tone you’ve used to tell this – I can hear the narrator thinking!

    I love the description of the dog, especially. And great voice for this piece!

    Banging and panting at all hours of the night… Hmmm… maybe the new neighbours give an appearance of being on the up and up but…

    Hmm, he seems to be quite the nosey neighbor. 🙂 They appear to be too perfect.

    Dear Mr. B,

    I wonder if the banging all night is a Peloton. 😉 Interesting neighbors. Good story.

    Shalom,

    It’s the Russian mob. I’m sure of it.
