The Shallow Diary, Day 10
MAY 29th-
At night, it's quiet, so very quiet. The silence engulfs you, embraces your thoughts, drives you ever more quickly mad. In the country sides and rural areas, the silence at least can be alleviated by the few insects and animals left. The cities however, contain a silence that goes beyond the absence of noise. It's as if every sound around you has been shunted out of existence, but only at night. Roaming one of the bigger cities at night, alone, is never wise. That is when the Tithe Collectors come out, as quiet as a grave they are. Seeking out anyone who was crazy enough to think they are free to do as they please. The Collectors make such people pay, silently.
