The Noise

The Start

A loud noise echoed through Mason's apartment building. Building 3 was always the one that seemed to fall apart the most. "JESUS CHRIST... That was loud as shit...." he said thoughtfully. As he rolled over and finally started to feel sleep drift into his thoughts, the noise was heard again, this time louder than before. He knew this time that it was a man-made sound as it was more clear and could be heard in the room next to him. "HEY! KEEP IT DOWN, I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" Mason screamed as he bangs on the wall. He hears an audible groan then a reply "Yeah, Sorry. Can do." Mason lets out a sigh of relief. "Thank you" he says. Mason hears another groan this time from a woman. "Oh god.... They're having- Ew...." He thinks to himself, "Well I can't tell them to be quiet for that." A look of discontent and discomfort crept across his face as his brain slowly wondered to imagining what his neighbors were up to in that room. Another loud crash and he could stand it no more. "STOP WITH THE NOISE!" He yelled before he could stop himself. A loud groan is heard from the man. "Buddy, just calm down, Ok?" He says. "No! I can't sit here and listen to...to...THAT! It's gross and insenstive to me." He said, full of dignity. "Ok, ok. Look, I'm done. It's over, you can sleep now." He said this with a hint of urgency in his voice. Mason thought nothing of this and rolled over and went back to sleep. "Better be...." He mumbled as he drifted off to sleep.
