When my son Jake brought home a mysterious box from our eerie neighbor, Mr. Carson, I felt uneasy. Jake excitedly told me it was a “special surprise” from Mr. Carson, but when he opened it, a swarm of insects spilled out, terrifying us both. Over the next few days, the bugs multiplied, biting Jake and spreading throughout our home.
Desperate, I confronted Mr. Carson, who chillingly admitted, “It’s revenge. Your family is living on my land.” Fearing for Jake’s safety, we quickly packed up and fled to my sister’s house.
Later, I learned that Mr. Carson’s house became infested with the very bugs he unleashed on us—a twisted form of karma. Though we lost our home, Jake and I found a new place and began to rebuild our lives. The experience taught me to be vigilant and protective, ensuring that our future was free from fear and malice.
