a reasonable horror

silence growing loud

louder loud booming

a reasonable horror.

Aaaiiiieeeee... speak to the soul you do, and uncover it, unmask it... dare it to dance in spite of unreasonable circumstances....

Definitely, 'a reasonable horror.' I cry ... thinking you summed up a portion of my life in a nutshell. I cry for you, I cry for me. Ummm, but where did you find MY nutshell?

You've described well the physical and emotional thunder that can so strike us to the very core of our beings. Sometimes it's what can't be seen that terrifies us the most.

what is so horrific about horror, is that it should be so reasonable. with this you have planted another fine seed in the garden of my senses.

It occurs to me that the word 'listen' contains the same letters as the word 'silent.' Both may test our limits. Glad to find this. Thanks.

You make me consider the different "silents", and you give me that still shout of inner realization that hopefully comes before action. I like this loud booming.

Short, to the point, as as always, you say alot with so few words. Good food for thought and thanks for this piece. I can really relate well.

The euphamism "the roaring silence" given a whole new meaning Jill. Well done! Don't get much of it here in the city; not sure if that's good or bad. :o)

You say it all when you say so little...excellent word choice. smh

made worse by the imaginings of a terrorized imagination...excellent Jill

Skillfully crafted!

What it must be like to "hear" the sound of silence in horror...

Few have the talent to say a lot in few words; this is proof of your talent.

I haven't been here before, but it feels all too familiar...silence has many guises, which obviously goes without saying :>)

Silence isn't always golden! What prick of conscience doth lack of sounds entail!
