Screaming Silence



Every time she touched his skin, a shiver ran down his spine and he felt cold and happy at the same time. The adrenaline rush and the happiness of the moment made everything more vibrant. Everything was perfect, perhaps more than it seems. Life was on a high.
His life revolved around her and her's around his. They were the perfect couple everyone longed for and everything was like a daydream.
They battered through every storm together and every time, the world tried to push them apart they came closer, more and more until their worlds collide into one.
But, amidst the happiness they didn't even realise that sadness was hiding in the dark corner waiting to pounce upon.
He never realised how catastrophically it would change his life, perhaps tear him apart and make him a living corpse.
The demons robbed him of all his emotions and he was left in the oblivion cold and naked with silence screaming through the darkness.
His cries were muffled by the scream of silence and he found himself lost in the void of emotion where every end was a dead end, and there was no way out.
In the distance he could hear her laughter floating round but his frantic searches were all in vain. He was desperate to cling to the memories of his past, each and everything was evaporating and was fading into eternity.

He could see her bike falling down the hill and her body was tumbling down twisting and turning at every hit and there at the bottom of the hill, she laid in peace with out the worry of waking up ever again. Her eyes closed and her lips curved into a smile, as if it was one of the games she played with him every morning.
He looked at her mixed with emotions waiting for her to wake up again, and run her fingers down his spine. But deep down somewhere he knew she had already broken her promise and set herself free.
1..2..3...4, he started counting his breaths and wondering which one would be his last...

Excerpt #12

“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.” ―  Markus Zusak,  The Book Thief

Excerpt #13

“Usually we walk around constantly believing ourselves. "I'm okay" we say. "I'm alright". But sometimes the truth arrives on you and you can't get it off. That's when you realize that sometimes it isn't even an answer--it's a question. Even now, I wonder how much of my life is convinced.” ―   Markus Zusak,  The Book Thief

Excerpt #8

"I have never before had such a strong feeling that I was devoid of secret dimensions, confined within the limits of my body, from which airy thoughts float up like bubbles. I build memories with my present self. I am cast out, forsaken in the present: I vainly try to rejoin the past: I cannot escape." --Jean Paul Sartre, Nausea
