My Annoying Neighbor and I Went to War Over a Lawn Gnome, We Never Saw the Ending Coming

After buying a single garden gnome, my neighbor lost it, claiming it brought bad luck and demanded its removal. I refused, as it was my yard, sparking a feud. He retaliated with noise, trash, and glares, then escalated by spray-painting “SELFISH JERK” on my lawn. Furious, I bought ten more gnomes, lining them up defiantly. Unexpectedly, he swapped them overnight with custom frown-faced versions, some with mocking signs. Undeterred, I devised a plan: I ordered a motion sensor speaker, fog machine, LED lights, and a dog gnome costume. The next night, I staged a scene—fog, a glowing “Gnome King” with a warning scroll, and my dachshund in costume dragging a shovel, startling him with a scream. Defeated, he removed his gnomes silently. But I’m plotting my next move, as the Gnome War continues.
