‘You rapscallions! Get off my lawn!’ Old Man Sherman’s body vibrated in frustrated anger as three teenagers ran off, laughing at having TP’d his large maple. He watched them go before striding back to his shortwave radio.

‘The facade of infirmity is getting to me.’

‘Oh, darling. I’m… be right back…’
