Noises in the Night

Last night I had a pretty rotten dream. I won't go into details, but in the end of it a lot of innocent people were getting shot and there wasn't anything I could do about it. Anyways, when I woke up around 6am I was still a little freaked out but mostly calm. Then I heard a series of bangs from outside. You see, in Ireland (for some strange reason) Halloween is connected with fireworks (the kind you buy illegally from roadside vendors). Kids set off a bunch on Halloween night, but they have also being going off intermittently every evening after sunset. Well, lets just say that this morning those bangs were badly timed.
