Prompt for Summer Drabbles- 80- Noise!

[aoutlaw321]

Muse: Aidan Janson
Title: (Pick your own) Renovation Journal- Noise!
Picture: Dug Out and Cement Poured

~

The workers dug out the pool and filled it with cement today. They’ve been here all freaking day. I’m glad that they are getting some work done, but do they have to do it with all the noise! Wes and I work during the night and we sleep during the day. It’s really important that we sleep or we’ll be exhausted during work.

I believe that K’tanya knows this, but she claims that it’s my fault. I want her to move faster so she’s out of here faster. But this?

I just think she could cut us a little slack.

27 - Significant

[deadwhitemale]

Everything has meaning.

He tries explaining it to Val, once-- Reality as a song laden with homages to other musicians, and his ears have been opened, he can sense and grasp the references, the riffs that pay tribute to other things. In the water of the world he is aware of the currents.

Not enough to sail them consciously. Not yet.

But aware they are there, moving him.

He turns in place at the heart of a slow whirlpool of symbol, image, resonance, significance. Trying to grasp it as he would a melody, finding it ever just out of reach.

1 - Vacation

[deadwhitemale]

Most people think Bermuda for vacations, Hawaii. But sunny days ain't his preference so Ellis takes the far north, the snow and cold of a six-month nighttime broken, in the darkest part of the year, only by twilight.

The cabin is cheap, especially since he can do without so many of the usual supplies. Warmth is nice but not altogether necessary. Food, well, there's big game enough in Alaska even if not his favored prey.

Ellis waits out many a disturbance in Alaska's pure cold isolation, cheerfully at ease in a darkness that spikes the suicide rate for everyone else.
