For years, I lived quietly behind a worn wooden fence — a barrier that kept the world at a distance. After losing my family, solitude became my comfort. My days were measured in silence, my home a small sanctuary untouched by noise, drama, or change.
Then, one evening, everything shifted with the screech of tires and the splintering crack of wood.
A sleek black car had backed into my fence, snapping two panels clean off. When I stepped outside, heart pounding, my wealthy neighbor stood beside the wreckage, phone in hand and irritation in his voice.

Didn’t even look me in the eye.
“It’s just a fence,” he muttered, before walking away as if my little world — and the peace I’d built — meant nothing at all.
I stood there staring at the damage long after he left.

That night, I went to bed with tears on my pillow, telling myself not to expect anything from anyone again.
But when morning came, something was different.
