The band had played their final song. The crowd had roared its approval. He'd just felt his band finally make it. As he walked into his apartment, feeling the vibrations of the concert still humming through his veins, he noticed a shadow in his hallway. A voice boomed.

"The noise! The racket! I'm trying to sleep!" The elderly woman, Mrs. Gable, was standing there.

Mrs. Gable frowned. "And what does that have to do with me?"

"Everything! Well, nothing! But it feels... incredible!" He punched the air.
