Neighbour Horror Trilogy

My weekend neighbour trilogy is complete. Like every good horror story mine came in three parts: The grinding and drilling, the humming wall and now the hammer - the worst of all three-.9am, that is the time that this horror story occured. It came suddenly with a couple of hard and well targeted smashes to my area of our shared wall and it ended just as quickly. Like the bludgeoning of a victim in a movie my pain was realised quickly, experienced like a bad headache and then went away just as fast. Fortunately my story does not end in death for anyone... yet.I am now awake and the hammering has stopped. As in a good horror, there is one person left standing at the end with their entire life destroyed and no reason to really move on, so I am left awake with silence and unable to fall asleep.
