She grabbed a hammer and started to swing, the wood splintering under the force of the blows. Her brother, Michael, was on the phone, probably negotiating the price with some developer. He didn't care about the history, the memories.

The walls of her childhood home echoed with each strike. She'd told Michael she didn't want this inheritance, that she wanted nothing to do with it, but he had insisted. He made her a partner.

Each swing of the hammer was a release, a visceral expression of the anger building inside her. The wood was the symbol of him, she wanted to destroy him.
