Flashbacks of my childhood.
Last night, I woke up to a man screaming on our street.
It was around 2.30 am
and I imagined him shirtless and strung out.
"You took my dog,
now I am going to take your life!
And your wife's life!
I am going to kill your kids!
Where is my dog?!
Boomer (whistle)!"
This was repeated viciously
while my roommate and I both patiently listened,
separated in our bedrooms,
as his voice faded down the road.
