The Sound of Silence

The Sound of SilenceIn the spaces between words, a story begins.For those left behind, silence has always been a shield-a way to survive in a world where the rules are shifting and the shadows have grown teeth. But as the narrator quickly learns, a shield can easily become a cage.When Toby vanishes and a presence that "hunts confirmation" begins to stalk the hallway, the carefully constructed quiet of their world starts to unravel. With Lucien's chilling warning echoing through the house-that silence is not safety, but merely a delay for memory-the stakes become clear. To stay silent is to wait; to speak is to invite the end.The Sound of Silence is a haunting, poetic exploration of the fragility of safety, the persistence of grief, and the profound weight of finding one's voice in a world that demands your memory.
