This should be really simple. I'm only posting it because I'm so happy to see it again. I made it up a looong time ago for a different website, and I came back to it just now to find people still commenting on it. Little ego booster  Ed steps out of his house and is immediately kidnapped and killed. His neighbor, Bob, moves into his old house and eventually he and the house disappear. | ||

Are Ed and Bob humans? adults? Was Bob involved in the kidnapping and killing of Ed? Do Bob and his (former Ed's) house disappear at the same time? | ||

Is the house on a moving thingie of some kind (e. g. a truck)? Did Bob move in of his own choice? Was the house "made" by Ed? By Bob? Man-made? | ||

Was it a naturally-occuring house? Like a hole in the ground? Or a hole in a tree? By kidnapped, does that mean Ed was first captured and later killed? | ||

Was the "house" a shell? Were Ed and Bob hermit crabs? | ||
| Eliot (Eliot)

Exactly. And Alizon solves at break neck speed in the that's-close-enough category! ************Spoiler Ed the hermit crab leaves his shell for bigger and better things, and is immediately taken hostage by that brand of child that cant keep anything alive for more than two days. His crab-neighbor Bob scuttles into Ed's stylish shell and is picked up by a shell collector. | ||

Before i read the spoiler, i thought they were going to be some sort of parasites in a host that dies... nice puzzle! | ||

Thank you. It's best to use on people not accustomed to asking; "Is he human?" ;) |
