I lost my wife, Margaret, to ?????? eight years ago, and since then, it’s just me and my grandson, Harry, who visit around the holidays. Things changed after Jack and his son Drew moved in next door. Jack’s entitlement became apparent when he began parking in my allotted spot.

Despite my reasonable demands, he persisted, even covering my car with tape in revenge. Furious, I solicited the assistance of two young neighbors, Noah and Kris. We decked Jack’s yard in biodegradable glitter, filled it with pink flamingos, and hung loud wind chimes.

The next morning, Jack’s wrath was halted by the police, who detained him for vandalizing my automobile based on my photographic proof. With Jack and Drew gone, the tranquility returned. My parking place was free, and the entire neighborhood celebrated our tiny victory.

It wasn’t just about the parking spot, but also the friendship and memories formed as a result of the hardship.
