Feverish with longing, it seems unjust that a mere two inches of wood should separate us from our neighbor Stephanie. Questions inevitably surround an enterprise such as this - whether illegal, or, of more importance, whether she’ll find out - renewed each time we see or hear her pass. Yet one look at that haughty countenance, that lustrous black hair, and the potential for seeing her body naked is like dynamite in the hands of a three year old. Ultimately, this small piece of business is taken care of one winter afternoon while Stephanie’s off walking her dog. Damon drilling the holes as I play lookout, and after all this time, the days of frantic plotting and heated debate, the physical effort behind this act of perversion takes but a few seconds.
