My room, 5:52pm, 3/27/26

• A distant plane flying overhead, birds chirping, a car’s engine revving, voices coming from the backyard (or a neighbor’s backyard).
• The dog barking, my mother typing on her computer in another room, my brother walking down the stairs.
• The hum of my computer’s fans, my phone buzzing, my chair creaking as I lean back.
• Everything is either very muted or just very quiet.
• Peaceful, calm.
• My computer’s fans humming, the birds chirping.
