Dr. Kendall Crowns

He had run out of his apartment and stuck his face in the birdbath by the pool at the apartment complex.

And when I heard that, it explained the screaming that had woken me up at 3 a.m.

that morning.

Eventually, we finished finals, I packed up, and I went home for my short summer break.

I kept my apartment over the summer because my break wasn't very long, and when I came back, my neighbor across the way was again still there, still quiet, still non-existent.

But Lane was suddenly incredibly quiet.

Did something happen over the summer?

Did he change his ways?

I went to class that first week and I didn't see him around.

And I asked one of the other medical students that knew everybody's business because there's always one of those in every class.

What happened to Lane?

And they said, well, no one really knows.

He just never came back.

Later that week, I saw my apartment manager and I asked her, hey, what happened to the guy who lived above me?

And she said that she didn't know.

He just never came back.

They couldn't find him.

They called the list of phone numbers.

No one answered.

And when his lease ran out, they entered into his apartment.
