silence.

Silence is deafening. My room was dark as always. I have a Queen Size bed only for myself. Its probably past ten now, since I don’t hear my neighbor yelling to its children for it had done something again. All I can hear are crickets. I wonder if they are talking to each other. Courting or looking for a mate perhaps.

My Mom and my little runt nephew is in the other room next to mine. A thin plywood is the only thing that divides as from. So any noise made from either room can easily be heard given with the silence right now. I think my nephew is asleep since I don’t hear him asking questions, shooting like machine gun out from nowhere. Like, why does my older sister (his mother) have to leave him behind to my mothers care while bringing with her his other three siblings? Then my mom would just answer with “huh?” or “hmm”. For my mom knows that no matter how she explained it to him he just won’t understand.

Just now, I heard mom uses her lighter. Well to light her cigarette probably. Mom has been a chain smoker since. I think it started when she and her first husband had broken up. Though my mom doesn’t talk that much, I know she uses cigarettes as her refuge. I know that by now she’s thinking. Her mind could be anywhere now. In Neptune I assume.

Something pop into my head, I just remembered I have to go to school tomorrow. I will be having my removal exam tomorrow in my Anatomy class. But I don’t think about my exam that much. I might be going to see her tomorrow. And that bothers me more than anything else. She’s the last person I wanted to see for the love of God. Her presence was been constant threat to my sanity.
