Alone

Here I am, my brand new house, brand new doors, brand new windows, brand new cornflakes - which I bought at budgens - brand new car, brand new bed… brand new life. Alone. I edged slowly over to the lorry where my belongings waited to be introduced to the house. In the corner of my eye, a neighbour danced to Rihanna. An adorable lion toy watches her, but looked tattered. I veered to my door, I knew this place was exciting, but I was alone. Suddenly, a drum started banging, probably the neighbours. Will they be friendly? I wondered and hoped I was not alone.
