When I was younger my best friend was my neighbor Kelsi. We always played outside and ran around. Occasionally we picked up the Barbie or two, but we loved playing outside. Next to my house there are woods and a home nuzzled in between the trees. It always interested Kelsi and me and sometimes our brothers too.
In the summer when it was still warm out and not yet getting dark in the evenings, Kelsi and I would dream up things about the people in the house. We thought it was a scary old person who never came outside, like Mr. Radley. We envisioned just about everything in that house. Him eating animals and scaring everyone. One evening we decided to go up and see with my brother and Kelsi's brother. We all walked up into the woods, but Kelsi and I got scared so we ran back to my house. When my brother and Kelsi's brother came back they wouldn't tell us anything! To this day we don't know what they saw, it was probably nothing. About a year after that, someone new moved in. A younger couple, pregnant with their first child. They are really nice and I sometimes babysit for them and their little girl named Lucy. But, Kelsi and I still wonder what our brothers saw that day.
