Now that I’m an old lady I can say my favorite sound is a symphony of night time bug noises. I remember the music lulling me to sleep when I was a little girl and I kept the window by my bed wide open. During the day we built forts in the woods, raided the garden for snacks, and enjoyed getting dirty and tired. I didn’t know enough to worry about being hungry, having money problems, alcoholism, or cancer. Today the bug music takes me back to that magical time so I can clear my mind to fall asleep.

This one has a powerful impact on how I react to the sounds in your flash, Susan.

Thanks Charli. This one is memoir, the other a fictionalized version. It was interesting to write both viewpoints.

It would be interesting to write a third that integrates the two!
