Radium Halos
“Kapoosh!
I groaned and threw the duvet over my face. When that didn’t deafen the jackhammer outside, I grabbed the pillow and stuffed it over my head. It’s freakin’ Sunday morning and Dad’s idiot neighbour has to rip the concrete out of his driveway NOW?
Ka-poosh!

Stomping to the window, I flipped open Dad’s expensive California shutters. The street below lay void of life.MoreLess
