Description
Noise.So much noise.
Endless, relentless, shapeless noise.
There was a fan above his head;
whirring, whistling, roaring.
It never stopped.
There were thin, flimsy sheets beneath his back;
rustling, crinkling, tearing as he tossed and turned.
There were voices in the hallway;
whispering, chattering, accusing, misunderstanding.
So much noise.
Not even muffled by his hands over his ears,
by a pillow around his head,
by a blade in his wrist.
He watched the rain land on the cold tile,
staining it crimson.
Drip, drip, drop.
More noise.
Searing, burning, white noise.
Another cut,
another swipe,
more noise,
a heavy rush of feet.
Then, solace.
Sweet, silent solace
as the noise fades away,
slowly, then quickly.
A smile,
a laugh,
as terror meets closed ears.
Silence
as the world fades to
sweet
soundless
black.
