The low, guttural growl of the guitar amplifier next door seeped into Sarah’s apartment, an unwelcome guest. She winced. Her teeth felt like they were vibrating. She’d specifically chosen this apartment for its supposed quiet.

She spun away from her laptop, the screen displaying a half-finished research paper, and ran her fingers through her hair, which was falling into her face. The music was making concentration impossible. This was the third time this week.

"Ugh!" she exclaimed, throwing her hands up in frustration. She slammed her laptop shut. Enough.
