The rhythmic hammering from the house next door had her sitting straight up in bed. Sarah scrambled out of her blankets, a curious energy coursing through her. She threw on a robe and dashed to the window.

The entire facade of the house was changing. Her neighbor, a young woman named Chloe, was tearing everything out. Sarah’s eyes went wide. She’d never seen anything quite like it.

Chloe, covered in dust and sweat, grinned at her from the window. Sarah gave her an enthusiastic thumbs up, unable to contain the giddy feeling bubbling inside her. The transformation was just beginning, and she felt as though she could barely contain herself.
