Niemi

My neighbour has purple hair and likes her small walks around the block. She is worried about slippery roads for her legs are not stable. Sometimes I can see her feeding birds from her window. When I come home little birds still jump around in the bushes under her window. She has a three windows and a typical last name. In the evening only one light is on and she listens to radio. When I open my door, she closes hers.

Friday I heard loud banging noise but just thought it was the workmen building a roof. When I was leaving her safety lock was broken and police tape was wrapped around her door. I could smell blood on the staircase. The smell still lingers.

Now the birds are gone and the is light off.
