The Noise

T errific and terrible, loud and unrelenting, I am suddenly H ammered by a head splitting, grating screech, as the E mergency Broadcast Signal blatantly blares from my TV. N early every glass rattles and shatters, because the O N button is stuck on its highest setting possible! I try in vain to find the clicker to lower the volume S o the earsplitting nightmare of noise will lower, but it keeps on E scalating, out of control, while I cover my poor ears in agony.

Ah awesome! I felt it getting louder and louder in my head as I read! Seriously my pulse quickened. Probably predisposed to react so to even the suggestion of such racket, a 7 and a fave :) xomo!
