The strangest thing just happened.

I walked outside, and it was silent. Completely silent.

No cars. No planes. No men hammering on stuff. I wasn’t expecting it. It was startling at first. Eerie.

It stayed like that for about 5 minutes, then a car went past. As soon as that sound died, a kid went by on a skateboard. I waited for the silence to come back, but as soon as the sound died, a plane flew by. I started thinking that the world conspires against the silence, about how rare and endangered a thing like that is. Then more cars, then someone started hammering. I waited. Then it was silent again.

Do you know what it was like?

It was golden!
