I strode purposefully towards my back door, a smile plastered on my face. My breath came in short, excited bursts. My neighbor, Beatrice, had always looked down on me. Always.

This was karma in action. My insides felt like they were doing cartwheels. I poured myself a celebratory glass of champagne, and took a long sip. Now, for the popcorn. This was going to be fun.
