If you look out the window from the living room of the apartment where I live you won’t see much going on. It is a quiet neighborhood unless some noisy car passes by blasting their music. When you look straight ahead, there is a nice house that was just renovated by the owners. Most of the time they are sitting in the stairs of their home or watering their plants. Right next to this house is an apartment, there is not much action. Though years ago, from the kitchen window you could see an old man every morning staring out his window for quite a while. Next to that building, crossing the street, there is a big church. Nothing really goes on unless it is Sunday and people go to church or are on line certain days to get food. I live in the fourth floor, therefore when you look down you are able to see a little of what goes on. Down by the entrance there is usually nosy neighbors from the first floor with their chairs out just chilling, staring at anyone who walks into the building making it an awkward situation. A lot of people in the building have dogs, you will usually bump into one of them. But at night it gets dark and quiet with only a few people having their lights on, not many cars pass by either.

My remaining questions after reading the story are: was there really a murder or did Jeff just see things out of boredom? Who exactly is Sam, why is he willing to do anything Jeff says even if it means risking his life? Where did Boyne come from at the end if Jeff wasn’t able to communicate with him?  How did they conclude with the theory of murder?
