The constant creaking and the scratching sounds was giving Michael a headache. He was trying to watch television, but he couldn't enjoy it.

The source of the noise was upstairs, where his son, Sam, was busy working. He was building, rebuilding, and dismantling model airplanes. Michael's own love of aviation had been passed down to him.

Michael had always found comfort in the intricate details and engineering of model planes. Now, it just made him clench his jaw, and he wanted to go to sleep.

"Sam, are you almost done?" he yelled.

Silence followed. He closed his eyes, wishing for the sounds to stop. He could feel a pounding in his head.
