The thought was, What is that?
The ‘that’ I was trying to identify was something we had not heard in the three years of rooming together.
Silence.
Not only silence, but a huge silence. One of those silences so huge that it had its own echo. I was hearing silence, and then its echo. Silence squared.
A shiver went down my back.
Then it came back up my back.
It took a turn or two around my chest, and my nipples hardened from fear, anxiety, surprise, and some unexplained emotion I’d rather not explore.
That's just a brief bit I can quote easily.
The real funny action is at the beginning of the excerpt. I laughed and laughed!
