The constant noise was making her skin crawl. Every vibration seemed to travel through her bones, rattling her core. She'd begun to avoid her windows. She felt eyes on her.

The familiar routines of her life began to unravel. She forgot to water her plants. She left the mail unopened. She would sit, frozen, staring at the front door, half-expecting it to burst open.

The thought of someone entering her house was terrifying.
