15. Silence.
He hated silence. The lack of noise was the one thing he could not stand, despite his superiors scolding. He would listen to music and drum and sing and do everything in his power to do away with silence.
Because silence reminded him of Her. His mother. The cold woman who had kept him locked inside, who had made him into this crazy young man. He was never allowed to speak, or listen to music, or even laugh. She had coveted silence like it was precious.
So he did everything in his power to drive it away. He understood that sometimes silence was necessary, but he always ended it with an onslaught of deafening noise, and a taunting laugh.
Because she wasn't there anymore.

I'm in a dark, foul, pissy mood. And this is kinda how I feel about silence. Without noice or music I'm all antsy and cant concentrate. It makes me all…headachy, odd as that sounds. So yeah, no silence for me.
