章 566: Towering (3)

Silence. 

There were many kinds of emotion silence could portray. There were comfortable silences, stunned silences, even murderous silences.

This was the kind of silence that grasped at one's thoughts and laced one's dreams, the kind of silence that refused to be forgotten and couldn't be ignored.
