The sweetest sound
You might feel I am high right now, but hear me out.
The sweetest sound in the world is that of a glass being filled with water.
Clear water. From a bottle.
The first splash. Aaah!
Followed by the recalibration of the angle of the pour.
The change in the frequency. Oooh!
The dancing waves.
As the glass fills, up the changing amplitude of the standing waves.
The anticipation of thirst being quenched.
Note to self. I should meet more people. And remove my noise-canceling headphones more often.

I was standing in front of my house, preparing to leave, when I noticed the boy who lived in a small single room with his parents and two siblings. This family of five occupied a tiny space on a large plot of land. Whenever anyone from my family went out or someone visited our ho...
