Silence

The last war was fought after our collective minds opened to silence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ inspired from "The Last War" by Ana Menendez and the following quote from her book: "Men at war always talk about the noise, as if by reaffirming the bank and flare of it, they might skirt the hole of lasting silence."
