We see our neighbors most of the days of our lives. But there are few neighbors with whom we become really close, right? So let us ask you something, what would you do if one sudden morning while going to work you see one of your neighbor sleeping in the car, obviously not yours. You might think, so what if my neighbor is sleeping in the car, that’s his personal choice. But won’t you be a little curious finding that person sleeping in the car continuously for several days? And remember that person has a home that’s why he is your neighbor. But what was the reason this woman was sleeping in her car even instead of the cozy bed in her house? This story is something incredible and the guy saw his old neighbor sleeping in her car. But why? The question took away his sleep and when this old lady told him the real reason he was bowled over by it. But what happened that made this guy burn down his house even when he knew his neighbor was living in a car.
Good Morning Neighbor
Kevin Burns was the person who saw his old woman neighbor sleeping in the car. For the first two-three days, he didn’t give this action of hers much of a thought but things started to bother him when she was still there sleeping in the car for over a week now. What could have happened to her? Kevin thought about it many times. Being a responsible neighbor he didn’t wait much longer and asked her.
What Happened To Ruth?
That’s Ruth’s black car and herself in the picture. Instead of living inside her house she found comfort in her small black car. There are times when we take some drastic steps in our lives. These big steps might seem weird to other people but we know what we are doing. Kevin was struggling with this same situation. This woman who had a nice house was living in the car, but why? He found out soon.
Strange Things
From his house window, Kevin could see this old woman sleeping in her car looking towards the house as if she just wants to run towards the house but something was holding her back. Kevin could see Ruth drifting away in sleep and which made Kevin sleepy. For several nights this became Kevin’s nightly routine. Staring his neighbor with no idea of the world why was she behaving in such a way. What was the reason? Was she hiding something inside the house?
Mini Home
Not knowing how to approach her, Kevin with a soft voice called her out. She didn’t respond and then she came out of the car. Generally, people ask us to come inside the house for tea and snacks. Even she invited him but it was the car “mini-home” she called it. She asked Kevin to come to sit in her new house. Watching her behaving her like this Kevin couldn’t stop worrying about Ruth. For Kevin Ruth was the mystery which he needed to solve before it gets too late. What was inside the house that kept her out of the house?
Earn Her Trust
It seemed like nothing was working on Ruth. There were no answers from her side that could tell Kevin what made her take such a drastic measure in her life at this age of life. Being old is another kind of struggle in itself. Kevin’s heart was drenching in pain seeing this old woman in this condition. But he still needed to earn her trust before he could find out what was all going on with her.
Start A Conversation
Kevin sat beside her in the car, with no one speaking any word they sat there for a while. Kevin couldn’t take it any longer and asked Ruth about the situation. She didn’t say anything at that time and Kevin didn’t feel like pushing her any further. She already seemed lost, so Kevin moved out of the car leaving Ruth behind wishing to call out her name. But he was already counting his house stairs…and nothing.
