... LOUDER! The sound kept heightnening, kept growing, gaining speed and velocity. The officers still feinged ignorance. Suddenly I thought I MUST be mad, for how else could simpletons, such as these men before me, keep their act up for so long. They weren't like me, weren't nearly as cunning, couldn't possibly be as paitent. THey could not of heard the sound it was impossible.
They didn't know, though they soon would. They would here and know everything. The sound was now past the barrier of my ears, it was in my mind, in my soul. I would die from it I was sure, it would slowly kill me.
My heart matched it pound for pound, beat for beat, stroke for stroke. And then, it slowed. The sound slowed and my heart slowed. Slower, slower, softer, softer...until it stopped.
