~ monday afternoon ~

my big boss came in just now, and told us wat he had seen in jogjakarta, after the earthquake there. he said he was struck by something very odd. tat in a place fashioned to be a makeshift hospital, tat was as big as 2 or 3 carparks, filled to the brim with patients, the place was surprisingly very quiet. 'an eerie eerie silence', he called it.

i noe tat sound. its the sound of helplessness, hopelessness, of despair, and just of deep sadness. its a sound tat rings true, and tat causes dread in everyone's heart. its the sound of fear. its the sound of death and dying. its the most deafening sound on earth.

i noe. cos i heard it before. and its a sound i won't forget that easily.

thinking out loud at 5:30 PM
