'He asked if I felt strange energies at night': Man spends weeks repositioning his neighbor’s beloved garden gnomes inch by inch, sending the neighbor into panic and confusion, until man admits to the "prank", turning the whole neighborhood against him

Sometimes, even the most harmless prank can turn you into the neighborhood villain…Just ask this young man who created, what he'd call, the most hilarious gnome prank in history. Yes, take a moment, we also didn't know the words gnome and hilarious could be used in the same sentence, but here we are. People are either very creative these days, or very, very bored! This man decided it would be a great idea to reposition his middle-aged neighbor's lawn gnomes, inch by inch, and every night…In a 'light-hearted' attempt to watch his neighbor fall into a spiral of utter confusion. I am imagining this, or did Summer and Christmas gnome swap places…

No. They did not. But after weeks of thinking, aliens have finally and silently invaded this planet, this neighbor confronted the young man. Within seconds, he confessed to his gnome-riddled crime…A big smile spread across his face. Yet, his neighbor was still desperately trying to see where the humor fit into this situation. He just wasn't getting it…Now all the neighbors know about this prank, and instead of writing it down for later use, they criticized the young man for the panic he had caused his neighbor.

Inch by inch, here then there, the gnomes were moved everywhere. Wow, so lyrical, I should really be a writer. Oh wait! But the truth is, this young man was starting to feel a bit guilty for his “prank”, while all he was trying to do was have some harmless fun. Who is overreacting here? Because it's got to be one of them…

$Each night when I got home from work, I'd move one gnome slightly. Like, \one inch.\ Sometimes I'd tilt it.$
