chels:

Everything I can hear right now: 

• The clock on the wall ticking
• The fan from the gas fireplace
• My laptop whirring
• The water filling in the icemaker in the fridge
• The oven ticking as it warms up. 

me:

• The clock on the wall ticking
• The refrigerator running
• A train rumbling on its tracks
• Faint train horn
• Rumble of traffic
• The hard drive on my laptop spinning up
• Train horn closer now
• The light clackclack of the keyboard as I type
• The sound of myself swallowing
• Some electrical device humming
• Wall settling and creaking
• Someone upstairs sighing in their sleep
