Info

soundsThe eerie quiet doesn’t last. Before long, the squeals and shrieks and braysand squawks of the animal kingdom crowd the air.Terror. Confusion. Pain.From far off comes the wailing of sirens. Car alarms blare from the parkinglot. Now and then, people shout.Cries for help translate into any language, human or animal, fish or fowl.Never want to hear those again.Never, ever.
smellsAnd the smells! Like I said, feelings have a scent.I figured I’d smelled pretty much everything there was to inhale in this bigol’ world.But the smell of sheer terror.Of helplessness.Of blood.Of broken bones.Of torn wings.Well.Turns out there are a whole lot of smells I’ve never encountered. Didn’tknow how lucky I’ve been.
