Title

She heard noises from the apartment above, but could not understand why, since she was the only one in the building. The noises became softer and clearer; she didn't know what they were or what caused them. As suddenly as they began, the noises disappeared and the silence that had existed before they had begun was now different. She heard the absence of noise in the building and could not understand the reason for it, since she knew she was not alone.
