There’s a bar a little ways down the street from us, so sometimes we hear drunken yelling and hooting and hollering and such, and I always sort of assumed it was from the bar, but now that I think about it, the bar’s kind of too far for that. It’s got to be people hooting in their backyards and such. We live in kind of a quiet neighborhood, single-family homes, but tiny yards, and sometimes people have house parties, though not often. We used to have back-fence neighbors who spent a lot of time in their yard and boy could we hear every conversation, but they’re gone now, or haven’t started hanging out outside yet.
Tonight I was hearing what I assumed was drunken hollering, and I wasn’t paying attention. It’s hard to hear, there’s intermittent traffic noise and other ambient sounds. But it came to a kind of crescendo, and it was like– screaming, like a couple of people yelling, and it wasn’t like drunken hollering, it was like people fighting. Distantly, but audibly.
And then there was some thumping and crashing, which my brain categorized as one of the big garbage totes we have in this neighborhood getting moved around roughly. But like. Short hard sounds, not the long rumbling drag when people move the totes to the curb or back from the curb. (Also it was not garbage day today, that’s Thursday.) So like– maybe someone was getting thrown against one, or it was getting shoved at someone, or something. Not people doing yardwork at 10:30 pm, anyway.
And then a woman was sobbing, and that was when I actually sort of started paying attention, because that’s– not drunken hooting and hollering, that’s someone in trouble, maybe. But I can’t tell what direction it’s coming from, I went outside and stood and listened and I just can’t hear it clearly enough.
Then a man was yelling, viciously, and the only word I could make out was that he said everyone a couple of times, and then the woman was sobbing quieter.
And that’s really upsetting, but I honestly can’t tell what direction it’s coming from, it could be just about anywhere in this neighborhood.
it’s definitely not the bar, though.
