Light

Since a couple of months there is construction work going on outside my house every night, they start around 11pm and it goes on until the morning. I've been told they are going to be finished end of August.

Normally this doesn't bother me, I'm lucky enough to live in a house that is very isolated. For example, I never hear anything from the neighbours kids. And for this I'm very grateful.

But last night I woke up around three. I don't think it was so much about the noise but the light! Somehow these monster machines they use lit up, and it reminded me of when I was living in this little town and a light woke me up then too.

Turned out to be a fire. A big one. A whole block of apartments just burned down. That was scary. I seem to remember an old guy died in that fire, 'cause he couldn't get out in time. There's another reason not to get old.
