I liked the first half of this story, which has the main character basically have a quarter life crisis as he looks at a newly built house and prepare himself to embark on a life as a burglar. He has been down on his luck, with his life spiraling. 

And then….wonder of wonders, his parents have moved into the house he is burgling. Of course they haven’t given up on him and smother him with love (does this make sense why a young man would part with such loving and supportive parents?), and his life of crime ends up being mere nanoseconds.
