The sun was barely up when the first sounds of demolition started. Sarah awoke with a jolt, the rhythmic thudding a direct assault on her peace. She was trapped. Trapped in her own home with these interlopers.

Every day, the sounds grew louder, more invasive. She imagined sabotaging their projects, just to return the favor. She clenched her jaw.
