That day, I noticed that a mortal silence surrounded the environment. I don't know if the silence had always existed, and I just hadn't been aware of that until that moment; or only in that instant the silence suddenly appeared. Since then, my visits to the outer environment never where the same, whatsoever.
Suddenly, I started to see the environment that surrounded me with other eyes. Everything seemed so bizarre and mysterious. I felt as if I was under the effects of a drug.
Streets looked so empty, silent and lifeless, as if the whole city would just collapsed. That lead me to wonder if a more chaotic environment was better than this one, certainly peaceful, but mortally desolated.
I started evoking those calm yet somber melodies which I related this environment with. The sky was blue, but the loneliness of all what surrounded me made me perceive the weather as ugly and very, very dark.
I hoped this was a nightmare that would end really soon, but time seemed to turn unbearably infinite.
And then, I started to wonder if I was dead already. No, It wasn't possible, even though Death could be welcome, since that seemed the only exit to this open yet claustrophobic space.
