THEY THOUGHT THEY’D WON. THEY HAD NO IDEA I’D SPENT THIRTY YEARS AS A PARALEGAL — AND THAT THEIR NAMES WERE ALL OVER THE WORK ORDER.
PART 1
Neighbors hated the color of my house and repainted it while I was away — I was enraged, and I took my revenge.
My name is Eleanor, and my house sits on a corner lot in Cedar Hollow.
Two years ago, a newlywed couple — Blake and Tiffany Vance — moved in next door and immediately started making strange comments about my house’s yellow color.
Soon, they outright demanded I paint it something different.
My house has always been yellow. My late husband and I painted it that color thirty-one years ago, the summer we bought it. I love it, and there’s no rule against it.
They called the police and the city on me, but both told them to back off, since I hadn’t done anything wrong.
