Wishful Thinking

After a short amount of time, Lauren walks over to the officer, to inspect her work. Shocked, Lauren didn't see any sort of progress, making her even more irate. Picking up clumps of dirt and flinging it recklessly towards the officer, Lauren follows up her tirade with insults.

"I said grow some flowers, but instead, you were just sitting on your ass!? Look! Look at my yard now! There is dirt..fucking EVERYWHERE! Even on my priceless dress! AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

The officer tries to beg her Goddesses forgiveness, but Lauren won't have it.

"Shut up..SHUT UP! I wish to God, you and everyone just shut the fuck up and LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!"

A second too late, Lauren realized her mistake, as she heard clapping coming from inside of her house. Silence followed. There were no sounds of traffic in the distance, no noisy children, playing next door.

Nothing.
