DAY 68 - INTO THE SILENCE

68.

INTO THE SILENCE

Darkness crept in, 
heavy and suffocating.
She listened to the crickets and

listened to the silence,
listened to her heart.
The noises got fainter and fainter
until she no longer heard them at all.
And even if one broke into the silence,
she no longer cared.
