The people next door – Reading and Writing.

1) Summary.

This review is about a short-story which will make you read every paragraph again to find something new. Filled of mystery and suspense, “The people next door” is about a joung couple, Bradd and Shirlee, that arrives to their new home, where they’ll find neighbours such as The Jensens, Roy, his wife Lily, and their children. The things complicate when that young couple goes away with no aparently reason, only with what they are wearing, and never comes back.

That’s why all the people of the neighbourhood get very curious about this, so they go and look through the window, look after their house, but nothing seems to happen, further than the fact that they are gone.

Lily is the most intrigued about this, and at the 20th anniversary since they left, she goes into the house and sits in a chair, which she thinks was prepared for her.

As I could understand, I think it’s a great story, not only for the fact it’s not boring to read, but you will never know what happened with those people, and also what happens with Lily as well. You can create your own ending, and  make further conclusions.

3.-  Changing the story ending.

Suddenly, She hears a voice which comes as it was far far away. “Hey Lily! We’ve been waiting for you”.

Scared, She stands up as quickly as she can, and a cold wind goes along her, while black clouds were above her. After that, she hears that voice, again. “Lily, You will not be capable to leave because you will live here, forever, next to our house.”  It was Shirlee’s voice, She was sure of it.

Meanwhile, she tries to escape. She cannot move at all. She tries to shout but she cannot make any sound, and furthermore, she cannot hear her own thoughts. Everything was so dark, she could not see anything in spite of turning her head to both sides.

She returned to hear that creepy voice again that said,  “This is your time. Now, We came for you, and we are not going to let you go back!.”

Roy never knew what happened to his wife, and also, nobody else saw her body. The mistery of the abandoned house to the people next door is still there, and also those people who arrive there, they do it, too.
