electric silence: reframed
the gasps and the gaps the aching space between thoughts electric silence * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: Sooo...experiment time. Had an idea that although the first time I posted this it was framed romantically - helped along with the image - it had been eating at me that it could be taken a different way, with a different image - less romantic - in fact, the opposite. So here you go.

Beyond the Threshold
Ah, to feel anything other than pain. I am unsure if that fills me with hope or terror for the future. The shots of piercing discomfort, the dull aches and the debilitating reverberations through my body have become my new normal. I am unsure I know how to feel beyond the misery of the jitters and sharp shooting cramps. When waking up, it is empty and lonely again. Perhaps this is how inmates on a long stretch inside feel when approaching their release date? When they know the routine, the security blanket of supervision preventing them from acting out will be gone.
