Shadows of Doubt
Though only a wall separates Daniel’s home from his neighbor’s, it feels like an insurmountable barrier. The neighbor’s son, Michael, is a bachelor about Daniel’s age, frequently away to care for his ailing father. A longstanding land dispute has alienated their families, turning them into strangers. Daniel’s discovery of Max’s secret sojourns to this very house stirs a growing anger within him.
Daniel’s mind is rife with doubts. Why would his wife have taken Max to these neighbors during his absence? Could there be an unseen connection? As he stares at the wall dividing their homes, the mystery deepens, Max’s fondness for the place adding to Daniel’s restless curiosity. This enigma seems to point toward a secret, long concealed and waiting to be unearthed.
