The Garage!
On silent feet, I moved quickly from the living room to the doorway, slipping inside.
Cautiously I crept forward to the old door, straining my ears to hear.
Hear the voices outside.
Taking slow breaths, I closed my eyes, letting the rest of the world fall away so I could focus on those voices.
Why were those two gathering in front of my house?
Why had they been yelling at the neighbor next door?
I frowned, pressing my ear against the warped side, straining to hear, my eyes opening, straining to see through the darkness to the figures a dozen yards away from me.
"Cars......Cops.....Of course...."
I pushed back with a grimace of disgust.
For it being late at night, the traffic on the road outside seemed constant, the whirr of car engines drowning out the stranger's voices. No good.
I'd have to get closer.
-Inspiration from personal experience this evening where a neighbor was confronting another neighbor about an issue.
