After a two-week holiday, Victoria returned home to a shocking discovery: her nosy neighbors had repainted the bright yellow house that her late husband had lovingly decorated. Enraged by their arrogance and interference, Victoria decided to take matters into her own hands, ensuring they would regret their actions. Victoria, 57, lived in a charming bright yellow house on a corner lot—a color that her late husband had chosen. Since the arrival of her new neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, two years ago, she had endured constant remarks about the house’s bold color. From the beginning, the Davises made their distaste clear, often sneering and making rude comments. Mr. Davis would joke, “Bright enough for you, Victoria?”

while Mrs. Davis offered condescending suggestions that she should repaint the house a more “neutral” color, like beige. Victoria always shut them down with humor, refusing to let their opinions bother her. After all, the yellow color held sentimental value—it was a reminder of her late husband’s love and spirit. Despite their continuous badgering, she stood firm, much to their dismay. They went as far as complaining to the city and even trying to sue her over the house’s

color, but nothing worked. Their efforts only isolated them from the rest of the neighborhood, who stood by Victoria and her colorful home. While Victoria was away for two weeks on a work trip, the Davises took their scheme to a new level. When she returned home, instead of seeing her beloved bright yellow house, she was greeted by a cold, lifeless grey structure. Shocked, she nearly drove past her own home. The cheerful yellow that had made her house a beacon in the neighborhood had been replaced with a dull grey, transforming it into something unrecognizable.
