The noise that won't go away

Q: Write about a noise or silence that won’t go away.

It’s the strangest thing. And it won’t go away. When I’m about to go to sleep it’s quietly there. When I walk to school it’s there and then it follows me to class. Later at work it catches up to me! Then I realize it was there the whole time! It becomes especially obnoxious when I am nervous, as if sensing my need for peace and calm - then squashing it.

Even as I write this I can hear it like it’s inside me. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.










Um, is it my heart? Or does Jeniel just follow me around everywhere?

  1. Hahahahaha. You are hilarious. Love it. I vote for the Jeniel following you around everywhere - at least that is what I would hope for.
