Laying in bed, Travis Clark wasn't sure what bothered him most: the sunlight slicing the gap between the window and his bedsheet curtains which drilled into his bloodshot hungover eyes; the twang of country music which echoed through the trailer park no matter how often he cited his tenants for noise disturbances; or the sound of shattering beer bottles as his nearest neighbours, Daryl & John, fought in their yard arguing over who was the biggest "lying cheating asshole."
