Portraits of the previous owners, smiling serenely, their faces radiant with… something. She couldn't quite place it. But it was definitely not happiness. It was smugness. Each frame seemed to radiate an aura of superiority.

She grabbed the closest portrait and hurled it against the wall, the glass shattering. She wasn't some kind of second-class citizen! Tears pricked her eyes as she surveyed the damage. This was utterly infuriating.
