The first thing she noticed was the dust. It swirled in the wind, coating her car. She sighed. Mr. Johnson, bless his heart, had been planning this for months. His garden, his problem, his fence. She wasn't against it, or for it. Just... there.

She walked past the construction site, the sound of the nail gun momentarily jolting her. She felt nothing. It's just a fence. People build fences.

She continued her walk, the sun warm on her face. She would probably forget about the fence entirely until she saw it.
