An HOA-obsessed neighbor calls the police on an 11-year-old Black girl running a lemonade stand—then everything shifts when the responding officer recognizes her from the school crosswalk. This tense, emotional short story explores community, power, and what it means to choose judgment with humanity.
Featuring Zuri (the engineer), her mom Tasha, Officer Daniel Hayes, Sergeant April Monroe, and Mr. Whitman—on Willow Creek Lane where heat, phones, and opinions collide.
