“ The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence.”
“ I was supposed to be having the time of my life.” The silence depressed me. “ I couldn't see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.” “ I wanted to be where nobody I knew could come.” I am I, and I am not I. “ I felt very still and very empty.” I wanted to be where it was quiet. |
