next door neighbors
        by Deranged Desire   (speedyexiter@Writing.Com)
"simply misunderstood"
the reader stated outloud
"a case of mistaken identity"
then with a deep breath
"the mask the killer wore,
since he was poor,
he stole from a robber,
whom still lived next door,
and before that robber had used it.
then he replaced it back
in the robbers napsack
just in time for the robber to use it.
When the robber struck
a small window he snuck
and instead got his head tightly stuck,
thats when the cops showed up
saw the mask that he wore
they then mistook him for the killer nextdoor.
Thats why you should never try being a robber,"
the reader said closing the book,
"especially one with a "new" mask
used by the killer nextdoor.
