Suburbia.

I spent an evening in the scariest of suburbias. Houses lined a street so close together. Where one started and another began is still unbeknownst to me. Little personal castles that immitated society but showed no actual sign of community. Three and four cars in front of every home. Trimmed Spirea shrubs creating a fortress, a safehaven from the outside world. The streets were well-lit, but the people's lives filled with darkness. I wish it had been a nightmare. Alas, it was reality.
