WRITING PROMPT RESPONSE: SILENCE

The Silence Surrounds Me

Silence is shattered My photo

Without the boys, this house is quiet. Almost too quiet.

I listen. I hear eggs boiling on the stove. The limit of my culinary skills.

There’s a buzzing I can hear. Is it electronics or my ears? How can I tell?

There’s a motor running somewhere. Is that the fridge? Silence is not my friend. What’s that sound? It has me hearing things that aren’t there.

The silence is shattered! NANNA! NANNA! Baby T. is back.
