White Silence

Prompt: The Sound of Silence

White noise is empty. A meaningless background noise that serves as the filler sound for Televisions that had lost their signals. Just like your bottled up thoughts that scream for release.

But you didn't. Instead, you chose to stay silent, letting those thoughts go haywire. You face an internal battle inside your head. And you just sat there and let the white noise consume your thoughts.

The silence is a cold, invisible prison. It's a suffocating force that prevents you from screaming what you want. A destructive interference to the voice of your thoughts.

But silence doesn't have to be this way. Silence offers a sanctuary. A place to be able to think while undisturbed. A constructive interference to the intellectual mind.

In conclusion, the sound of silence is both a constructive and destructive interference. It is the loudest scream yet unheard. It is an energy source for those tired of the background music. This is the sound of silence.
