-Yes, my dear boy.
-Can you turn off the terrible noise?! Please!!!
-Oh, what noise, honey?I don’t hear anything.
-But it’s there, I can hear it all the time, mommy, please....
-Charles, it’s almost midnight and everybody is sleeping. Shushh, just try to fall asleep.
- But it’s there no matter what I do...it’s penetrating through my skin, droning in my head and stabbing my eardrums like billion thistles at a time! Every day, every single night....
-Oh, sweety, don’t cry....I'm sure it’s nothing, you just had a long day, that’s all. Close your eyes, try to relax and you will fall asleep very soon.
-Mommy, I can’t ...I just can’t – the noise is coming from everywhere. There is so much evil that I breathe in, so many people screaming, fighting, wailing....I can hear them, feel them killing each other...it’s like countless ardent blades running through my veins...sometimes it’s like I am...them..
- Charles, my poor boy...Well.. I think...it could be the sound of the world, sound of all the people you are being haunted by. Just... try not to listen, try not to suck it all in, sweetheart.
-I can’t, I simply can’t...I just wish there was a switch to turn off all the people on Earth. Just to hear the sound of the world we are supposed to live in....
