She picked up a fallen branch, her fingers tightening around the wood until her knuckles were white. The wood splintered. She dropped it back, the sound of it hitting the ground making her teeth hurt.

They were always causing issues. Always inconsiderate. She thought of calling the authorities, of filing a lawsuit. A sense of cold purpose descended over her.
