A stray dog awoke, saw he was in a park, and let out a defeated yelp. Another dog answered; a bus honked. The dog lay flat on its back and howled. The single-stranded sound was joined by dogs from every corner of the park and by honks from more cars than you could see. Teenagers ceased kissing and screamed; thunder shook the foundations of the sky. The cacophony reached an unremitting pitch; any noise to be made was finally, desperately being made. And in the perfection of absolute noise, silence was found again, and the world could continue as before.
