That moment in the night when the ac turns off, the animals quiet, breathing slows, and all you’re left with is the unshakable silence. Even though there are sounds, your ears refuse to listen and eventually everything fades to nothing. That silence seems to last a lifetime.
First it’s the heartbeat, the blood flowing through your body, the faint breathing, then it all comes like a flood of sounds, and in that short moment you were reminded how insignificant your existence is.

I like this; it’s sad but it lets me know I’m not alone in this.
