Welcome to the Neighbourhood: Chapter One
I couldn’t believe it, I had always dreamed of moving into a wealthy neighbourhood with large, guarded gates and monitored security, but today was the day.
I had made it rich off what I thought was a stupid action movie idea. I wrote it as a child and put it away. I thought it would never see the light of the sun until one day after cleaning out the attic of my first home. I found it with a few updates and a complete recasting. I put it online.
What happened next was unexpected. The first book took on a life of its own, with demands from many people for me to write another then another.
I quickly got my series on a streaming service, which turned into an entire movie and a comic book series.
The money came rolling in. When I had first started, I was living paycheck to paycheck. Now I had more money than I knew what to do with or spend.
When a stalker found my house, I decided it was time to move to a more secure location.
My agent told me about a well to do neighbourhood. I thought, what the hell? It couldn’t be that bad, right?
Today was the day that I moved in, and I have to say, I was beyond impressed. It was no mansion like some movie stars who had billions vested into their houses. I wasn’t that rich after all.
