Silence

Silence. The typing of a computer. A piano next door. The clicking of a mouse. The tap running, the toilet flushing. Distant chatter from the house across the street. A car on the road. Footsteps. The slow ceasing of a motor engine. A dog barking. The setting down of a briefcase. The removing of shoes. A chair being dragged across the floor. A hand, patting another hand. A man, singing in the night time. Bare feet against a staircase. The door opening. The lightswitch. The door closing. Silence.
