Perhaps someone can suggest a title that fits but doesn't give away the last line? |
| Gently the wind blows bringing to mine ears a multitude of sound... The rustle of the leaves, happy notes sung on a chime. Closing my eyes I listen closer, waiting... True love's first kiss, childish delight found deep in a puddle of mud. Waiting still, it must be soon now... The sweep of clouds across the sky, trees yawning in tired relief. Yes closer now, just another moment... Far off a star flickers and goes out... A civilation dies... Illness overtakes another. There, yes there it is the sound I have been listening for... It is the most terrible sound in the universe... It is the sound of indifference. |
