As an old broad‚ I am allowed to use an old picture. I am a sixty-three year old widow of thirty four years‚ with no children and a house full of cats and one dog.

I muted my TV and listened once more if it made that sound again. It did. I climbed out of my bed and peered out the window‚ it was my childish friend Drew throwing rocks at my window.
