The horrid neighbor

She and her friends played loud music and screamed in the street at midnight. Then she slashed our tires when we called the cops.

She made fun of Baz for being scared to take the bus when he was in kindergarten.

She bragged in front of us that "I got all the white and Asian people working for me" at school, then beat her child until he wailed audibly.

She took up so much space, so much air, that our own living room felt polluted by her. 

She will never read this.
