I lived with my family on Redacted Street for a few years.
It was a close-knit, lovely community full of diversity and friendship, and a whole bunch of us became fast friends and we'd regularly host barbecues and get-togethers at each other's places.
The guys, me included, would often watch football regularly and we'd generally just have a good time.
and that's why it made total sense to set up a neighborhood watch.
It seemed like fun at first.
The neighborhood was extremely safe, and there wasn't much to really watch out for.
But a bunch of us hot-blooded guys thought that it would be a badass idea, and so we went about filing the correct paperwork and completing the correct registrations.
And soon, every house had one of those neighborhood watch stickers in their window, and we had a menacing sign attached to a lamppost at the opening of the street.
Now I was very impressed that absolutely everyone in the community signed up.
Not surprised really, but still.
Of course, nothing happened for a while.
We set up a neighborhood watch email group and tested it by using it mostly for group chats.
Sometimes we'd do tests.
One of us would alert the others that they were going to fake an emergency, and then we would, just to test our reaction times.
It was completely silly and really achieved nothing, but it was fun.
and that's why I didn't take it entirely seriously when I got Mike's email to the group.
Mike was the elected head of this neighborhood watch, and he was a bit of a joker.
He was a serious, dependable guy when it came to it, but he was always down for a laugh.
His email read like he'd either forgotten to warn us that this was a test, or that he figured it was so silly he didn't even need to warn us.
Now, I've still got the email archived in my old Hotmail account, and here I'll just read it for you.
