Summary

It started as an innocent mix-up — a delivery to the wrong house on a quiet summer afternoon. A 16-year-old living on the edge of a suburban town answered the door to find a man holding a pizza he hadn’t ordered.

I don't share this often because even after 10 years, I still can not decide if I narrowly escape something or if the whole thing was just a really strange coincidence that I've never managed to explain.

When I was 16, my parents' house sat near the edge of town, but one of those sort of half-forgotten suburban streets with the lamp post flicker in the mailbox all lean a little to the side.

It was the summer, humid and slow, and I spent most afternoons just home alone.

2:00.4

He had a few earrings in one ear and a face that looked

perpetually tired, like he'd been awake too many nights in a row or something. He rang the doorbell,
