#552 Neighbors- Raymond Carver
Can you really trust your neighbors? Bill and Arlene Miller
live across from the Stones. The Stones seem to live a much more exciting life
than they do. They’re always going on vacations or taking work trips. When they
do, they ask the millers to watch their apartment and feed their cat.
They do watch the apartment and feed the cat, but they also
drink their booze, steal pills from the medicine cabinet, try on their clothes,
and rifle through drawers looking for dirty pictures. This peek intro somebody
else’s life excites them, and puts a bit of an adventurous spark into their
otherwise dull lives. Living vicariously through somebody else’ existence may
be fun, but be careful you don’t find yourselves locked out.
