SILENCE I SAY!

My family have left me!! No, not literally. But I am home alone right now. I was left home alone for the first time at the age of sixteen. Thus, you guessed it! I'm a wuss. When I'm left home alone at night, all the lights are on, the tv is on, music is playing, the cordless is next to me, my mobile is ready to ring ( the number 000) and nearby I have obscure objects at the ready...just in case. I dont know what it is I'm expecting...a robbery...attempted murder...a psychopathic stalker...I'm just scared. It's merely afternoon now and already the noises are getting to me. I'm one who cannot cope with silence...something to do with the dark and silence that scares me. Thus I hear everything. Right now, the Beatles are playing..its about the billionth time I've heard their albulm today but all the same, its calming! Maybe its McCartneys voice or Lennon's lyrics ...it's just calming...its noise and not silent. I've been doing homework for the past two hours and I took in all the sounds- the pen scrawling on the page, pages turning in the text book, my own breathing even the maniac birds outside. It's not all bad though. I mean being by myself means...FREEDOM! All the rooms are mine. Hell, the pantry's even mine! If Heartbeat were still on, I guess I'd be excited over the fact the TV control was mine, but its not...thus I dont care. I shall sign off now faithful reader and get back to my world of silence and the Beatles.
