Day of Silence


Anyone who has a role involving the wrangling care of animals or small humans knows 
that while silence can be lovely on the face of it.... 

....it's very rarely a good thing.


Silence is how the TV gets smothered in Sudocrem.


Or the kitchen is redecorated with a half inch thick layer of flour.

Or...

I cant even go there with what they did to the dog.

Anyway...

Gremlins are just as suspicious under the cloak of quiet.

It means the little gits are up to something and at some point,

At some point 

I'm going to discover the cost of the quiet cup of tea I drank hot or the brief respite I enjoyed being able to hear my own thoughts in my own head.

Most nervous systems have 4 fear responses.  

My nervous system has five.

Flight, Fight, Freeze, Fawn and 


We all know which is getting triggered.

This is now news.

This is my life now.

As you were.
