My New Family Alec John Johnson

"I watched every night. Some days were better than others, just like with other families. Sometimes there was laughing, other times anger, other times indifference. They had each other and they had me. That was all that mattered." A significant loss can do strange things to people. Some people grieve uncontrollably for months on end, others turn to drugs or alcohol, or some turn to something else. Something far more disturbing. A suburban family man becomes fixated with his next door neighbor's family. He watches them through his window blinds every night. He watches them having dinner together and imagines being there with them. He visits them at night when their house is quiet. He stands over them and watches them sleep. How far will his obsession take him? Do his neighbors suspect anything? Will he be caught?
