The Chain of private roads.

Why is there a system of private roads connecting all of their houses?

There is something we have been suspicious of for well over a decade. Up until recently, we did not dare to mention it, because there was never any indication of it being related to anything subversive, and it was always in our best interests to safeguard the integrity of our position. The erection of the fourth house sitting on top of what was the old McCollums’ Bros junk yard, and with it the increased probability of our previous suspicions being real has changed this. What we are referring to is the system of private roads that connect all of our persecutors together.

The system of private roads almost stretches the entire length of our road, but covers a greater distance due to winding in and out between the houses. As previously mentioned, within months of moving into the neighborhood, the first thing the fire chief did was plow a private road through his neighbor’s property connecting his house with the property currently owned by the Erica Tyler, and as Mr. Simmons moved in to build his subdivision on top of the junkyard he added a road to connect his home with Erica’s. Furthermore, Abernathy has had roads connection his house with at least five other homes on the road. Finally, with the addition of the easily travelable pipline, all of this creates a network of maintained backroads that raises the suspicion as to why they are being used so often, and for what purpose? What is being transported between these houses often enough to warrant their upkeep, especially considering the county road is only a few hundred yards away, and paved?
