Home Invasion

Politeness prevails as Putin and Zelensky hold inaugural ...

Fact: You can sometimes choose your home

but you can's always choose your neighbour.

Through misfortune of circumstances

history and geography, shared culture and

religion what are the chances a neighbour

would view you as a resource in an unequal

relationship where when occasion demands it

they feel entitled to all that is yours depriving

you of all that is meaningful in life? When

home invasions become the norm so does

tension and inevitably preparedness. Until

the time comes when the bully next door 

once again invades to find  himself facing

a neighbour prepared to exact a cost from

the predator, sending him away limping

and perplexed that his superior bulk and

propensity to violent action this time has

consequences neither quite foresaw; the

innocent neighbour vindicated, the tyrant

become a universal object of derision.
