Hope you’re keeping cool on what is another hot Sunday afternoon. My latest story here is a 67 words story based around the number 67.

Hope you enjoy The New Neighbour.

The New Neighbour by Allison Symes

There’s a new neighbour at number 67. My last neighbours partied at all hours. Bottles and unpleasant detritus everywhere. The Environmental Health people were shown the door. Fines didn’t work.

I used my skills to break in to rig something. One thoughtless couple electrocuted. The investigation revealed the cause was a faulty wiring circuit.

That was corrected before the new neighbour arrived.

I hope they’ll be okay.
