Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Had this thought/idea in my head. So, published it. I think the song Girls Who Play Guitars by Maximo Park may have influenced it...

Here are some more mutterings, word abuses and literary crimes:

    Hey hey!! “Electric silence” sounds awesome. I’d have some of that! Reminds me of something I’m trying to do to listen to the silence more..like a meditation technique. Great song too just gave it a listen. Haven’t heard that in so long I didn’t recognise it at first! So thanks for adding that too. ☺️👍

  • Oooo, that was so deep and clever! I loved it! 🍩🥐
