Written for the Stairway to Another World story contest.
Sound. It surrounds us and swallows us. However, despite its overpowering nature, when Katherine is pushed into a world world without sound, she realizes how desperately she needs it.
With a nod to Simon and Garfunkel's classic, Katherine rediscovers speaking instead of just talking, and listening instead of just hearing. Whether harmony or dissonance, sound connects us to the world around us.
