Melrose Gates

Harvey Chester, a retired newspaper journalist, stepped out onto the balcony over looking the courtyard. It was early Saturday morning. The sweet sounds of birds chirping had awaking him from a good nights sleep. The green grass on the courtyard was neatly trimmed, almost to perfection. Sipping a small cup of coffee, he looked forward to another pleasant weekend of observation. He wasn't going anywhere special. In fact, he wasn't going anyplace at all. Instead, he would look forward to the gatherings, the conversations, the cooking, the children, and all the neighbors he had met over the course of his residence at Melrose Gates.
