The Double Silence
“He could see her clearly through the big picture window of the house. He had never grasped why people would choose to have that much glass, reaching all the way down to the floor. They must be exhibitionists, harbouring a secret longing to be observed, seen. He’d never had such a need. He liked to melt into the crowd, to become erased and merge with all the others. He’d never understood people who wanted to stand out. On the other hand, it allowed him to admire them in secret with a combination... of horror and delight. Like her. She had been like that. She loved having others look at her, admire her. And they did. She was just as alive inside of him now as she had been back then. Even though they’d managed to enjoy each other only a few times, her scent still lingered in his nostrils, her voice echoed in his head, and her lips still burned against his.
