Village Vengeance

Even though the setting of this story is in an urban metropolitan area, initially the neighborhood was one of familiarity and closeness. Young people walked freely from one house to another without fear. Friends rang the doorbell and opened the screen in one gesture and surely no one was afraid to sit alone on the porch at night. However, one young man changed the atmosphere of the community into one of terror indicated by barred windows, weapons and barren streets at night. One man changed not only the neighborhood but the emotional state of all who were affected by his presence for years to come.Ingrid Brown is an Oklahoma native and was educated in Illinois, Kansas and Oklahoma.
