The Cries In The Silence

A man and woman fell in love

They move to a small home in the country

They had a child

The man next door enjoyed hunting in the spring

He is shooting his rifle next door, hitting each target

The baby cries, hearing the loud sounds.

The woman and man sigh, finally asking him nicely to stop shooting his gun so their child can sleep

He grabs his favorite rifle and loads it with pride

The man walks over, the baby still crying.

The mother cradles her child, shushing him

The man kicks down the door,

ending every sound in that house

True story

See you in the next one
