"Is that...is that a fence?" John whispered to himself, peering through his binoculars. He had been longing for the extra security for years. The way the wood was arranged, the solid barrier taking shape… it was something to behold.

He practically skipped across his own lawn, eager to examine the progress. This was going to be brilliant. He imagined all the backyard barbecues. Finally, some peace of mind.
