Silence.

It was a not a word unfamiliar to Raz, but the actual meaning of the word was completely foreign to him. For as long as he could remember, he had never had a moment's silence. Between living in a circus (in every sense of the word) and being a telepath there was always some background noise wherever he went.

Stray thoughts and loud noises were the soundtrack to his life. But until then he couldn't ever just stop it all.

At that moment, campers and counselors had long since gone to bed, but being unable to sleep he had snuck away from the cabin. As he sat atop the main lodge roof, deep in thought, it was silent. Completely and utterly silent.

Raz gave a small frown.

"This kinda sucks."
