The news arrived in the form of a brightly-colored flyer, taped to her mailbox: "New Fence Coming Soon!" Her heart stopped. A fence. Blocking her view of the park, blocking the sunset, blocking everything that made her life bearable.

She crumpled the flyer in her hand, the paper feeling flimsy and inadequate against the rage that swelled within her. Her stomach churned. The world had tilted on its axis.

She found herself trembling, her breath coming in shallow gasps. She had to do something. She had to. She stalked towards the neighbor’s house, her face a mask of controlled fury.
