The air crackled with anticipation. David sat on a folding chair, a thermos of coffee steaming beside him. He watched the workers set the charges, a technician meticulously wiring each section of the house.

He stretched his arms, feeling the sun on his face. The breeze felt crisp. The house represented a life he had been struggling to get rid of for years.

He had a fresh start to look forward to. And no more of this place.

He took a long sip of his coffee and closed his eyes. Peace was on its way.
