our neighbours had understandably grown tiresome of our daily squabbles, but I must admit they had good reason this time to be so vexed. Sean’s arguments this one particular night was so loud and aggressive that he ended up smashing everything up in sight including me. Out of nowhere his shouting and throwing session got far worse as he flew into an almighty rage which resulted in him holding a knife in his hand. Before I could make sense of what was going on I felt a sharp sting on my arm and just let out an almighty scream of agony. It must have been that scream that the neighbours finally realised they had had enough.

So had I…

As I was coming to terms with the fact that Sean had cut my arm the doorbell was ringing constantly in addition to the loud knocking on the front door.
