Where are the neighbors

Where are the Neighbors?
Ok, so i live in a small town out in Colorado, and everything is very squished together. About a year ago something happened that was so bad, i had to move out of that town. I haven't been back there since, and i don't plan on ever going within 1,000 feet of that place ever again, i even refuse to drive past the town.

it all started last summer. i had just moved there, right before my junior year of highschool. i was walking back to my house,(this was an old, and very run down down town) after looking for a job so i could get a plane ticket to fly back to minnesota to see my grandparents for the holidays. i noticed something very weird as i was walking. all of the buildings had these weird signs, or symbols on them, kinda like if they were from a gang exept, i had always had a weird feeling about them. i swear iv'e seen them in a book somewhere. oh well it was probably just my imagination, so i thought. until 2 months later.
