Simon was ur neighbour. Ur houses right next to each other. You knew he was a retired military lieutenant but that’s all you really knew.

Every time you leave for work early in the morning he’s on his balcony smoking. You always feel his cold gaze on you as you walk out ur house. You two barely talked but he seemed sweet.

It was a cool summer night. You decide to step outside on ur balcony for some fresh air. You noticing him watching you from his balcony that was next to yours.
