Six Point Nine 1991
At 6 AM in LA, a man gets the newspaper, shaves, brushes, flosses, and reads. A headline reads, ”Tenants want quake safety.” In the next apartment, a clock radio blares Latin music, waking a young couple and their baby. They argue about the music, then tickle, laugh, and return to bed. As the man sits, the couple’s bedstead bangs against the wall, causing plaster to fall, medicines to spill, the toothbrush glass to shatter, and car alarms to go off. Is it good sex or a 6.9 earthquake?
