electric silence

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Sooo...experiment time. Had an idea that although the first time I posted this it was framed romantically - helped along with the image - it had been eating at me that it could be taken a different way, with a different image - less romantic - in fact, the opposite. So here you go.

Here is the original for reference:

    Ahhh, man, Paul. First you give us a delicious bit of lovey, dovey and then bust our chops with a dose of reality. Just teasing! You are deviously clever. Sort of like those images that can be seen two different ways like the old woman/young woman illusion or the loving cups.
