Silence and The Stars

She'd been dead only an hour and the stars have already welcomed her. She's silent as the warmth devours her, slowly and wholly. "Dance with me and let's pretend the world doesn't exist." they faintly whispered. And she knew after that, there was no return, instead of being afraid...she listened. That was the night she realized why people fear silence, it was unreasonably loud and yet unforgettably soft.
