Sometimes when I can’t sleep at night I’ll lay awake in the dark and just listen.

Strange…

When the building settles

There are the sounds of the night

The laughter of a woman’s voice

The babble of children

A knocking in the pipes

Doors open and shut

Low moaning

A toilet flush

Running bath water

Running feet

A woman’s scream…

The End

    Sometimes staying awake and listening to different sounds is scary. But we pay close attention to these sound in the silent nights.

    When it happens, just wake up and write. Will you?

    Interesting picture! Funny! I do the same thing when I can’t sleep.

    Wow this is kinda awesome! But in a way I really want to find out what really happened…

    I hear traffic and pedestrian voices and my husband snoring

    I hope is was a good scream. This was quite well done, it was as if I was listening with you.

    It’a amazing what we hear when we allow ourselves to be still and listen. I agree with Jimmy that this is a perfect time to write.

    An interesting pic I have to admit.I alot in the night time just sit and listen to what is in my surroundings.An apartment building gives me plenty to hear and wonder why they happened.Then I get up and jot notes about what caught my interest to write about later.But still a very cool read and liked this!

    Usually by the time I go to bed all I hear is the ocean or sometimes the birds waking up at dawn. I can\’t sleep with human noise around.

    Low moaning in the night especially if it is from a woman means that something maybe is happening.
