My Son Came Home with a ‘Gift’ from Our Neighbor — When I Saw What Was in the Box, I Decided to Move Out

Last Friday, my son Jake came home with a mysterious box from our creepy neighbor, Mr. Carson. Jake excitedly said, “Look at the gift Mr. Carson gave me!” The wooden box seemed innocent, but when Jake opened it, a swarm of tiny insects spilled out.

Despite my initial fear, we tried to contain the bugs. Over the next few days, they multiplied and started biting Jake. Desperate, I confronted Mr. Carson. He smirked and said, “Revenge. Your family is living on my land.”

Realizing the danger, I decided we had to leave. We packed quickly and moved to my sister’s house. Jake asked, “Mom, are we ever going back home?” I reassured him, “I promise we’ll find somewhere safe.”

Our nosy neighbor, Mrs. Anderson, later informed me that Mr. Carson’s house was now infested too. “Serves him right, the old coot,” she said. This news gave me some satisfaction.

Eventually, Jake and I found a new apartment and started rebuilding our lives. “Mom, do you think we’re safe now?” Jake asked. I hugged him and replied, “Yes, Jake. We’re safe.”

Despite our ordeal, we emerged stronger and ready to shape our future. The past was a lesson, but our future was bright and full of promise.
