Toni

The silence was so thick it laid itself out like the dust and grime of decades of neglect. The silence was so silent it was maddeningly deafening.

Finally, Toni broke.

“I can’t take it any more!” she yelled and jumped out the window. Broken bits of glass, as well as Toni’s body, rained down on the streets below.

Nancy cursed at the red light which refused to turn green, despite having been waiting at the light for well over 17 seconds. Her air bags deployed 62 milliseconds after Toni’s body hit the hood of her car.

Elsewhere some music played absently.
