Soundless Echoes

Silence has a sound. It can be said to be the phantom sounds we have heard, or we think we have heard in the past because our brains cannot handle silence, so they try to fill it. If echoes are rippled reflections of the sounds created in the past, what does the echo of silence sound like? What do the echoes of someone's present and future look like if they cannot hear the sounds of their past because their past is silent? ------------------------------------------------- A young Chimera lycan found almost dead on the streets wakes up in the hospital and finds that she can't remember a single thing about her past. After recovery, she is taken under the wing of Lynx Swift, a lycan with a mysterious yet strong past. Lynx gives the little lycan the name Echo, in hopes that one day she will be able to get what she wishes for, to answer the song of her currently silent past. With time, Echo learns to live her life instead of chasing melodies of the past, making new memories, and living apart from her ever silent history, unaware of the fact that she has slowly started to hear glimpses and fragments of the songs of her past, and they weren't anywhere near close to what she and everyone else thought they would sound like. ------------------------------------------------- I'm new at this... You are allowed to hate, but don't hate too harshly. This is the first time I will be exposing my writing to others, just to see what kind of reaction from the stories I mostly kept to myself. If you're going to read it, Good for You! I will attempt to live up to the subconscious expectations seeing as you are giving me a chance. I hope I can hear some good feedback too. If you're not going to read it, I thank you for the small bit of consideration and interest you have given my creation. Feel free to come back anytime when your interest is sparked. Now go do something else with your free time or take your procrastination elsewhere. Try doing something productive or self-fulfilling to make up for the time you think you have wasted here.
