Oh that terrifying sound



Some say it is the worst sound they ever heard.
Others say there is none more terrifying.




I personally love the sound...but I realize how addicted I sometimes become to it. It is one of those sounds that is completely unmistakeable. It cannot be confused with anything you have ever heard or encountered before. It has defined generations of civilizations and before that, universes. I can hear it now — even in my head, beckoning like a long lost but grateful lover. It is always so under estimated and devalued; often misunderstood. I am falling towards her. I am embraced by the arms of it. Here comes that most terrifying but treasured ....

...sound of silence
