Dear new neighbors,
I did not hide from the doorbell because you are black. I hid from the doorbell because ever since I was old enough to be left alone I have refused to answer the door if no one else is home and will lock myself behind as many doors as possible and put my face in a corner until the invaders have retreated. I think you saw me peeking out of my bedroom window as you walked back to your house and hope that you don't hate me like I hate our mutual neighbor who didn't offer to let me use her snowblower when I was shoveling seven inches of snow out of my driveway without gloves on Saturday for the movers. I really do appreciate your effort to inform me that the garage door was up and will leave flowers on your doorstep or bury tiger eye under your mailbox or express my feeling in some other semiautistic fashion as I am wont.
Sincerely,
Tiny Damaged Notion in 3148
