Summary
Most things written about explosions always attempted to tackle describing the unfamiliar auditory experience. Penning just how loud it is. How the greedy inhalation of oxygen by the swarming fire has a near-deafening swoosh. How, for as bright as the thing is, you can hear every frying part of your eyesight pop just as the explosives did. What no one talks about though, is the silence that follows. No matter how frantic or stumbling the first moment of realizing one is still alive may be, the world immediately becomes an absence of. The fire is gone—or simply smoldering embers now—and the world just seems to be caught in a pause between disasters. But nothing dares make a sound in the wake of something so furiously powerful, careless, and ferocious. Any sound would just become a whimper.
Jon’s calls for his friends were no exception.
