Location: My porch as a thunderstorm moves in

Sounds: Rain, thunder, the door sliding open and closed, drops hitting metal, a small flow down near the street towards the gutter, insects buzzing.

Location: Sitting in the dining room

Sounds: Plates hitting the counter, someone is doing the dishes in the background, silverware clattering

Location: Early morning in the kitchen

Sounds: People walking, keyboard typing, sink running, my parents talking about wine, toaster over bell going off
