Silence.
A
half eaten chocolate bar lay on the coffee table. Not forgotten, just
discarded. A trail of tiny black ants running back and forth between
the sweet brown substance and their home somewhere on the other side
of the closed door they were entering under.
The television
flickered, a well dressed man with his dark hair parted to the side
silently discussing the capture of Kira with some random, yet
important police officer.
Silence blanketed the room.
A pair of
computers hummed softly beside one another. One of the monitors
flashing through a default screensaver, whilst the other showed a
background of a Halo 3 preview poster, there was a counter flashing
in the middle of the screen which had reached '0 seconds, 0 minutes,
0 hours, 0 days, 0 months until release'.
A carton of cigarettes
lay on the coffee table opposite the bar of chocolate. Only one had
been removed from the packaging but had not been lit. It had been
discarded beside an orange lighter and an empty ash tray.
This was
a room that had been lived in, sure it wasn't anything spectacular
but it was somewhere that you could tell these people felt
comfortable in. The leather couch and armchairs were worn and there
were dirty dishes in the sink. The vegetables in the fridge were
already beginning to rot and the milk had recently passed its used by
date but had not yet begun to curdle.
Silence so thick, it hung
heavy like fog.
A cold, lifeless room. It looked as if the
occupants had simply been stolen away from their regular routine. The
Marie Celest of living spaces.
In the center of the coffee table a
Nintendo DS lay forgotten on the table. Across its black screen
flashed the neon green words 'Game Over'.
