The Chinese Spring and autumn period saw the birth of Sun Wu. As a child he was playful and an incredible prankster. Even as youngster he would attempt the most elaborate of ruses. Once, Sun gathered his friends by the pond behind his grade school.
"Everyone, gather round. Get in closer so everyone can see and hear. Today I'm going to show you A ghost ordering 10 pounds of General Tso's Chicken for a nerd"
They all moved closer to him, as if distance is why he wae speaking nonsense.
"A monster relaxing with a princess."
The more gibberish he spoke, the closer they got.
there are silences.
The silences of each season.
The silences of different weather.
The comfortable and uncomfortable silences.
Then there are silences that come with noise.
Like the noise of gibberish, which may or may not point to madness...
and still they drew nearer.
