The Weight of Neighbors
by Derek Stone
Synopsis
Neighbors share fences, citrus trees, and a crime that does not fit their HOA aesthetics. Class shows up as quiet favors and louder exclusions. The block's group chat becomes evidence and theater. Community means deciding which stories keep a street safe versus merely pretty.
