Amy Hempel, “Beach House”

Listening in on the summer renters next door.

(from The Dog of The Marriage)

This is a very short story. Three pages short. But it gets great mileage. I'm at a loss to go into great detail. It took me something like ten minutes to read this and I’ll gladly lend the book to whoever wants it. For a half hour. I’ll need this back at some point.
