An empty bottle crashes upon the sidewalk sending shimmering shards into the dark street. Swerving cars sway through the glass as a feeble corner house sends midnight serenades into the early hours. Doors slam and hiccups echo under the swollen moon. Windows rattle and a neighboring dog yelps. The front lawn, moist with late night mildew, is scattered with long faced silhouettes in sleep or drunken stupor. Night prowlers and hoodlums creep from the shadows as possums and raccoons scurry. The houses facade reflects the colors of humanity’s terrible passions from the neighboring traffic signals and a siren screeches in the distance.
The moon falls victim to cheap liquor and the sun awakens to a lawn littered with cans and half eaten burritos. Articles of clothing hang from the overhead wires and tipsy doodles scribble the face of a snoring teen. A mid morning breeze whips relics from overflowing ashtrays and a smirking neighbor washes the black marker from his fingertips.
Was the disgruntled neighbor’s retaliation justified?
