-The grinding metal of my grandmothers car being junked because she could no longer drive it, or afford to feed the cat. -Apologies and Band-Aid wrappers taking turns being tossed to the floor as my father cleaned up ****** knees that he tripped me into. -The baby's cry that wouldn't stop no matter how many times the pastor pleaded with his congregation to relieve the sanctuary of their miserable children. -The violent scream of both a passenger and rubber burning against pavement, followed by a demolished guardrail, motorcycle, and skull. As heard from the neighboring yard, over s'mores. -Four gunshots. And then a single siren. This list includes: Things more pleasurable to hear than the sound of the ringing that was left in my ears when all you could say was "it's weird".
