10 rain turning angry against the windows 9 rabbits heart tapping inside its ribs 8 car pulling into the parking lot , breaks wincing 7 television audience erupting in laughter from the next room 6 pipes rattling as water flows through them 5 girl talking on the phone in the room above , laughing a loud honking laugh 4 steps along the corridor outside 3 old man humming a song in the room to the right , his voice raspy as wind blowing across dead leaves .
