There is no sound more annoying than the chatter of a child, and none more sad than the silence they leave when they are gone.

Mark LawrenceIโll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. Itโs the silence that scares me. Itโs the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.
