Just walked across the school in the very late evening, the night really, to lock up a couple of classrooms. The place almost, but not quite, deserted. (I'm not all sure it's ever fully empty.) You might expect something approaching silence as a companion on such a walk, but you'd be foolish to do. There's so much to listen to in the supposed quietness. Insect noises. Traffic sounds from afar. Electrical systems humming. The world busily speaking away, amplified by the emptiness.
I'm not entirely sure what it's saying, but it's comforting to listen.
