The Silent World
Written by Chris Kim
"Albert! get up! You will be late for the school." His mom shouted in the kitchen. After while Albert came out from his room. His mom told him to eat breakfast. However, he just shot a look the table, didn`t say any words to his mom. He just packed up his bag, went out the home silently.
In the school, he is always studying alone, playing alone and eating alone. None of his classmates care about him, because he is so quiet and doesn`t speak any words with others.
He thinks it is better to him that there is only him in the world. In his eyes, it seems like all things that people around him are not trustworthy. In his mind, there is no word called, "friend."
After school, he went home directly same as other days. None of his classmates asked him to go to their home together to play games. Also, he didn`t ask any one play together.
He is always thinking that the world is so boring to him to live.
When he came to his home, it was so silent. There was only a note that wrote on a little piece of yellow paper, 'Eat it.' There was little piece of bread beside the note. He put the bread in his mouth and went to his room. He threw his bag to the corner of his room and threw his body to his bed. He thought his room is the best place for him. The ticking sound of the clock that on the wall made him comfortable.
Tick.. Tick.. Tick.. He closed his eyes with smile on his face.
BiBBB BIBIBIBBBB!!!
He got up because of the alarm, it is already 7:00 am. He went out the room picked a bottle of water to drank it. His home is so quiet, it seems no one in the home except him. He picked up his bag and went out the home.
The street was so different from other days. He couldn`t hear songs of birds that he usually heard on the way to school. He couldn`t hear any dog is barking. The whole world seems only he exist. There is no other sound except he steps on the leaves.
When he arrived at school, the atmosphere of it was so different than before that it was. He went to the classroom, but no one was there. He saw the clock on the wall, it`s already 7:15. There are most of students in the classroom at this time.
He sat on his seat, he was seeing outside of the classroom by the window, seeing those yellow or red leaves are falling down from the trees. The playground was covered by those colorful leaves. There always someone cleaned those leaves, if there are a lot of leaves on the ground. However, no one was cleaning them now.
The clock on the wall was making ticking sound. There was only ticking sound in the classroom. It was the only thing that he could hear except ticking sound was his breathing sound.
There were no cars that running outside, or no guard who guard the school door. He wished that the whole world is quiet as now.
Tick, Tick, Tick.... The blue clock on the wall kept making this sound. 'It`s already 7:30!.' It was time to start the class, but there was still no one come.
Ding Ding Ding.... The bell rang. However, there were no teachers, no students in the classroom. He was the only one. He went out the classroom and saw other classrooms in the hallway. They were exactly same as his classroom. The hallway and classrooms were silent as the space. The quietness and atmosphere of them, let him realized that he is in another world.
Now, he knew he is the only person who is in the world. He ran out the school. There were no moving thing except him. There were no things making sound.
"Aaaahhhhh!" He shouted. He was very exciting about his wish became truth.
"Yeah!! The whole world is mine!!!" He shouted in the air. He ran and jumped on the street. It seems the Earth is belonging to him now. He lied on the road, there were no cars are running on it. The sky was still blue and the whole world looked like nothing change.
"HAHAHA" He laughed really load. He reminded those things that he could not try before. He went to the amusement park near the town. He could not go there before, because there were lots of children, in that he could not play well. Also they annoyed him, because they were too load. Now, he can do everything that he wants, there were no adults, parents or people can punish him if he does bad things. It`s all depended on his heart at this moment.
Time passed really fast, the sky started changing into black pajama. "I enjoyed a lot, it was the best day in my entire life."
The stars are start shinning in the dark sky...
He came back to his home. However, the house was so dark, in that he could not see anything. He could not hear his mother`s voice either. It annoyed him before, but now he is missing that soft voice. He tried to forget about it by playing computer game.
Dang Dang Dang... It`s already 9:00pm..... He looked around, it was silent and dark in his home.
He went out the home and sat on the chair that is in his garden. The outside was also dark and silent. Now, he realized he is alone.
He saw the sky, colorful stars were laughing like children. It seems they are making fun of him.
A drop of water came out from his eyes, it was tear..... He started crying. "Please, now I realized, I cannot live without others, I knew that I need someone is living with me." He shouted. "Please, please, god, I promise you, I will change." However, only thing that he could hear is laugh of wind and echo of his voice..
"Please....." He cried...
"Albert! Albert! Albert!" Someone shouted to him. He raised head... He could not believe his eyes, it was his mom!! He looked around, he was staying in his room, not cold and dark outside.
"Mom!!" He shouted. His mom consoled him and let me came down. The soft voice made him cry over and over.
"Albert! Get up!" It is morning now. All things came back normal. However, it is the first morning to him. He went down quickly and said, hi to his mother with smile on his face... It seems the journey to the silent world changed him a lot......
