She was born into a perfect silence. She didn't hear her own first cry, nor the voices of all the people in the room. Her mother's voice didn't carry through her ears as she sang lullabies to her. She could see her name being pronounced but never knew how it sounded, the consonants and vowels adding up to the exquisite "Margaret". She spent her days and, sometimes, nights in perfect, undisturbed silence.All Rights Reserved
