Dead silence in the middle of town

Where I live is near a busy intersection and business district not far off.....

As of this time 2:50 p.m. it is almost like the world has stopped and there is absolute dead silence. I don't hear a single car nor dog, nor bird nor person....utter silence has fell upon my neighborhood. It feels like sensory deprivation in a since. There is nothing to hear. Everyone is gone. The office is closed and all the workers on the property have left.

It feels like the world has taken a last gasp and quit in my local neighborhood.

There is no sound of blaring music, nor someone's TV, nor wind whipping thru the trees....even the breeze is gone.

I have one heck of a headache. The weather is so gloomy and grey and overcast but the sound of silence is penetrating and lonely.

I know there is noise out there some where so no need to tell me that but how is the silence where you are?

Did the sound of sounds where you are suddenly just get cut off like in my neighborhood?

This makes the loud ringing in my ears magnify. I guess we are all so conditioned to a certain level of noise that when everything is shut off....it is noticed.

Just musing.
