Noise

I felt enveloped in a sea of black.
Like I was being tossed and jerked inside a giant rolling boulder.
Clouds came out of nowhere, and were drenching the unsuspecting ground.
I just lay motionless, The pounding rain on the roof might as well have been an army general screaming in my ear.
Sleep was impossible.
Staying awake was harder.
This was the sound of silence.
