A Jittery Journey

JITTERY. 16-down, "Nervous or unable to relax (7 letters)". Loud voices in the street drown out the TV. I put down my crossword, walk to the front window and part the curtains. They're at it again, the neighbours across the way. I can see them pointing and shouting at each other under the pale street lights.

A Jittery Journey is a short story from TallAndTrue.com, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
