Title: Silence
Word Count: 100 (I think)
Warnings: Very mind AxK
Challenge: #22 Latin
Notes: For the avatar100 community. (I am illumis).
The challenge is picking a lating phrase and writing a drabble to go
with it. I chose "Altissima quaeque flumina minimo sono labi - The
deepest rivers flow with the least sound. (still waters run deep)".
Enjoy.
