Taking about silence... one of the most eerie and hauntingly beautiful experience of my life was about, 8 years ago. I stayed up at Lake Tahoe, with my aunt. I was young, and her and my mother took off to party. I was left alone with her dog in a house in the "keys" right on the lake. After an hour, the dog had to go pee, whimpering at the door and such. So, I got the leash and took him out. He ran off to the bush and started to pee. Then, he sat down and everything fell to absolute silence. Now, I know recording booth silence, when you can hear your own blood circling around your ears and your bones squeak. And ever since, I've never been able to meet that hush silence ever again. It was deafening silent, as if I had gone deaf. No wind, no cars, nothing. Just hanging silence. And all I could do was shiver, but I was too frozen in fear to move. Then, a wolf howled and me and the dog darted back into the house.
