"Some people go on and on about how their neighbors are their best friends. They do everything together, borrow milk and sugar and eggs, take each other's trash out and have weekly barbecues. And then there are neighbors like me and Ben. Cordial. Friendly even, but not much more till one Saturday. Then he became my witness, and I became his." Miller and Ben were next door neighbors that shared a wall and about nothing else. They're pretty much strangers until they both witness a murder. This is the story about how two people become the most important, and only, people in each other's lives. ...................................................................... This story was inspired by this quote in the film "Shall We Dance?". "We all need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things-all of it, all the time, every day. You're saying, 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness.'" https://youtu.be/1FfW5iTe61k?feature=shared
