There is a crazy lady in the neighborhood. She has gone absolutely bonkers. She has spread ugly rumors about people, and became so paranoid that she had surveillance cameras mounted all around her house. She put up string all around her land identifying the boundaries of her property.
Some of the neighbors are afraid of her. No one really knows what sent her off the deep end, or what she might do next.
There are, of course, systems and programs in place for troubled youth, but no one knows what to do when an adult turns psycho.
Can you imagine an actual nutcase living right in your neighborhood?
Here's the thing, If it was her leg that had gone wonky, her neighbors would have chipped in for crutches or a wheelchair. Had her vision turned fuzzy, folks would maybe do her shopping. But when her melon runs amuck, no one knows what to do. Everybody just stays on their side of the string and out of view of her cameras.
It's all very Stephen Kingish.
