10.5.11

What they said...

When it should have been silent I could hear them, shouting whispers.
Things like:
“Don’t tell me…”
And:
“What are you doing about it?”

It was secretive. Furtive.
Against me?

More:
“…n’t the first time…” (something).
“… from the beginning,” one said.

I heard mumbles:
“Failure...”
“must make sure he does…” (it might have been doesn’t?)

And then:
“Now.”

I tried to focus but then some noises replaced the voices.
Slipping away, I forgot.
I went to sleep.
And they didn’t come back that night.
