Kenneth has lived in the same house on the same street by the same empty lot since before he, or anyone else in Wells End, could remember, and in that time, things hadn't changed much. Kenneth grew old. Everyone he knew died off. But that was that.\u003cbr\u003eUntil one day.\u003cbr\u003eJakob Alderson is a young professional whose career is taking off. Lead project manager of the Wells End community center, Alderson is ready to get started on the new construction project, fixing up an old empty lot that no one ever batted an eye at. The million-dollar project could be the beginning of an all-new era for the town, and who could possibly be opposed to that?\u003cbr\u003eWhen construction starts in the empty lot next to Kenneth's home, the old man and Jakob Alderson immediately butt heads with their vastly different viewpoints of how Wells End should be, and once a greedy lawyer with a taste for revenge catches wind of the conflict, she is more than happy to help Kenneth put a stop to Alderson's community center.\u003cbr\u003eAn old feud, a double-agent, and sensationalized newspaper headlines come together in this comedy novella about a rapidly-escalating cat-and-mouse game of lawsuits, dentures, and attempted murder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Basil E.
