Chapter 4 - Reality of Silence

Next Morning when Henry woke up he didn't find anything suspicious but something was awaiting for him.

Henry woke up and got ready. He had his breakfast and headed to the subway station to go to his office as usual. But here he came across something suspicious that there is no human voice heard. He ignored it considering coincidence and reached Subway station. To his bafflement he came to know that here also there's no chit chat and no sound of crowd but only sounds of notifications.

Henry baffled with the knew fact that now everybody talks with messages and WhatsApp chats he reached his office. In office everything seemed same as yesterday but again some baffling revelation was awaiting him.

He took his mobile to check the contacts but he was surprised to see that there's no contact as if phone was reset. But he found the contacts of all employees and office staff in office PC so he emailed to Sarah stating, " You know me yesterday I was trying to talk to you which you avoided and why today everybody is not speaking rather typing messages?"

Sarah replied astoundingly in a mail stating," What is talking? and who are you I don't know you! ".

Henry baffled and confused with the reply started thinking why she's unaware of him? and why she said what was talking?....

Henry after pondering concluded that he might have been in new reality. He thought to search talking in the office PC and he searched it but no results were found. He further searched in PC ways of conversation among humans he was astound to know the fact that humans never used mouth to create sounds like other animals ever in history and mouth is only for eating. He furthermore searched in PC " why it was so in humans? " and he was again surprised to know that humans never have vocal chords in this world. Henry was so baffled...

Henry was longing to hear human voice but only thing he could hear was ping sound of PCs and chitter chatter of birds from office window. Henry went home in a state of bafflement.

At home, Henry was thinking about how and when he transported in this world?

and what is the way to escape from all these, return to the world he once lived.

He took a shower to stress down and had his dinner and went to bedroom.

He was trying to sleep but couldn't sleep. After trying a lot he slept

Next Morning accepting the reality of silence he moved to reach subway station after having his breakfast in rush because he was late. He reached station and to catch the train he stepped into downstairs but something again was awaiting him.

He catched the train but something suspicious was there...

[In this world, everyone communicated through written messages. Conversations were held solely through texts, emails, or notes, leaving Henry longing for the sound of spoken words.]
