A lost child asks for help getting home. They can show a helpful adult where they live but there’s a strange lady there and she won’t open the door for them. Turns out that the kid did live there—thirty years ago, before they were hit by a drunk driver on their way back from school, and the family has long since moved away.
Whatever the name of this street, take it at face value. It’s not good to be Patrick on Kilpatrick Road.
The three men entering the Safeway right behind you are in fact going to stick up the cashier and run. Don’t get in their way, they have guns and they’re desperate enough to use them.
A setup for a longer story, perhaps: Walk into a shop, watch a man fall over and die from what turns out to be arsenic poisoning. A serial killer is on the loose -- and gradually, a pattern emerges: The victims are all abusive husbands, and the killer is covering up for the murder of their own abusive husband by 'helping' others in similar situations.
The new neighbours do seem a little weird. Always hiding away when the moon is full, strange dietary choices, a strange fondness for playing with balls and running on the beach. . .

Having opposable thumbs is nice.To generate more suggestions, simply refresh the page.
