The Sounds in a Silence

Have you ever felt lost? Lonely? Isolated?

Maybe it was your family. Maybe the outside world. Maybe it was you.

Meet Silence, the most ordinary girl you have ever laid eyes on. And no, that's not a trick. She isn't just going to randomly be like BOOM. SUPERPOWER in the middle of this story. She isn't full of mysteries either. Just brown hair, green eyes, and glasses. The whole shabang.

Silence is always uprooted from one home to the next. From house to house. From neighborhood to neighborhood. From library to library. She does that in this little state called Ohio.

This of course, includes something she likes to call "School Hopping." She's school hopped a lot for being ten years old. She'd also appreciate if people could stop trying to make smart comments from her name, thanks.

This is the year. This is the year she pulls herself out of her shell. This is the year she closes her fictional stories and works up the courage and go "Hey! I'm Silence!"

Kind of.

She needs friends.

Good friends.

Long-lasting friends.

But she doesn't know that. She'd like to keep to her fantasy books without people nagging. She would rather not form friendship bonds with anyone.

But damn.

Some people are just so persistent.
