I'm Jackson Bailey, 19 and just arrived home for the summer after my first semester of college. I'm majoring in archaeology. My parents left yesterday to spend the summer in Britain where my father, a professor of linguistics will be teaching a summer course at a university. I have the place to myself.

I noticed a moving van backing into the house next door that had a "For Sale" sign with a "Sold" banner on it.

I went next door to welcome the new neighbor.
