At this very moment, my home is under siege.
Every day at about 5.30 a.m., construction workers arrive in my backyard. First, they switch on big lamps that make it impossible to sleep, unless I blindfold myself. After the radios have been switched on, they start their activity. This involves a lot of very noisy drilling, which has now been going on for two weeks at about 25 meters from my window. The assaults are continued until none o' clock p.m.
I have my office at home. So, it is only after 2100 that I can start to work, and at the moment I sleep during the day (blindfolded) and work during the night.
The police has tried to relieve me and my neighbors but it appears that the besiegers have repelled them. Our only victory until now was the collapse of a scaffold; unfortunately, there were no injuries and the construction workers are still able to continue the siege.
I desperately need reinforcements. Is there someone over here who can lend me a catapult?
