Check out the window again.

From Create Your Own Story

You push open the curtains and pull down two slats in the blinds, and peer out by pressing your nose against the glass. The rain is so thick it nearly coats the outside world in an impenetrable curtain. In the darkness outside, with the lights on the street out, you can barely see anything.

Until a small light flares up on the street. You squint your eyes to try and get a view, and the small light begins to dance and grow. A car fire? A car fire. Blazing suddenly upwards despite the rain. In the shadows created by the flames, you can see six silhouettes. One of them is lying prostrate in the street and the others are gathering around, kicking and swinging on the person.

You step back from the window. A gang fight? A mini-riot? What the fuck is going on out there in a storm like this?

Meanwhile, you can still hear the woman laughing next door.
