I just watched this movie and absolutely LOVED it, so imagine my surprise (and delight) to find that it has a category on this site! This is a perfect premise to the movie and it actually helped me to understand it a little bit better. I can't wait to watch it again VERY soon! The title of the movie fits it perfectly and your story was wonderful! I hope you will write more!

Good prequel to an interesting small movie - nice characterization of Alfie, whose milk of human kindness is past its best buy date, it seems. Good old Gideon seems to handle him well enough. LOL at pink linens!

Ahem, /I/ am a landlady and you've described the mindset very well! Tenants aren't friends but they aren't enemies, either, because there is more to life than friends and enemies.
