The Sound of Life and Death
The Sound of Life and Death
Have you ever listened closely to the sound of life? Some might compare it to the steady beat, like a heartbeat or a drum. Others compare it to the slow sweet mourning of the violin. As for myself I heard the sound of my life in one soft sound in the middle of the day outside of my school. It was the sound of a note book hitting the ground. At the time I couldn't hear it, it seemed unimportant so I ignored it. After these many years after replaying the moment in my mind what must have been thousands of times, I could hear it clearly or at least what it must have sounded like. I've recreated the sound for my own entertainment because nothing is interesting anymore.
The sound of death is also interesting to many it's the sound of a gunshot or the flattening of a heart monitor line. I hear the scratch of a pen or pencil and then the sound of the news saying some new felon has had a heart attack. It is a pleasant sound to my ears because it is the sound of the bells ringing in my new world. I am god and the sound will now obey me.
I listen to other sounds, general noises of life and wonder how no one ever paid attention to them before. A soft sigh from Misa who is sitting next to me bored as ever, the slurp L makes when he sips his cold sugary tea, Matsuda humming to himself while reading the newspaper, my fathers hushed tones while he argues with my mother. Then unheard by anyone except my self and Misa, Ryuk is talking loudly and chomping on apples it gets rather annoying. I also hear the sounds that I make my clothes moving against the chair, my nails against skin as I scratch my head. So much sound all around us we come to ignore it and how much more boring life would be without it.
My favorite sounds however happen to be the sounds of pen or pencil against paper because I can make them death sounds. Pen and paper is also the sound of studying to remain a top student you have to study hard, I always had the top grades because I studied and that helped me be able to create my new world. To know things means you can rule over the wear minded who know little so they depend on the wise. The uneducated depths of the world are slaves to people like me who got somewhere in life. I use those people to create my world like Misa and the other Kira portrayer's they know little so I can use them. Pen and paper is also the sound of L's death to me I knew Rem had written it so as L fell I could only hear the sound of writing.
Surprisingly when I died all I heard was the sound of my heart stopping and I was glad, it was over and I could no longer hear any sound. The constant sound of life had stopped and the sound of death had finished ringing in my ears. I smiled as I lay on the stairs closing my eyes to the world, my ears already closed to the sounds the horrible wretched sounds.
A/N: I have no clue what gave me this idea but I ran with it. This is dedicated to Cbarbie92 because Barbie-chan loves Death Note.
