My house was too yellow, and single story. We had a very long sliding window along the wall in the family room. I was 13 and my parents would go out, and I'd stay up until midnight or so and i'd watch TV thinking that the Night Stalker was outside the window of my yellow house watching me watch TV. That summer was terrifying.
This was a pretty good read.
