toxic townie

“I learned silence, but the city roars. It roars even when no one is listening. Even when I no longer speak, it screams through forgotten throats. The asphalt pounds like a heart of steel. Car tires screech like tortured animals. And above it all lies a heavy carpet of restless music, advertising, snippets of news, voices, voices, voices each with an intention, none with an ear.” A novella about silence amidst the noise, about dreams that shatter against reality, and about the rare happiness of being understood just once in a lifetime.
