Without the Quiet
Give me a drabble about a silence being interrupted. It could be from a conversation between characters, or a disturbance in the vacuum of space. You get to choose!

Help me

It's late, so late that it's closer to waking up time than bed time. Still it's the only part of the day where I get any peace and quiet so I stay up knowing I'll have to pay the price later. I'm not doing anything in particular just surfing the internet until my brain turns off enough to sleep. Then I hear it, a tiny, pitiful voice through the window next to me maybe just inches away. I hear the helpless cry through the glass "Help me... help me." My blood runs cold as it does every time I hear this particular plea. I suck in my breath and remind myself, it's just a damn cat.

True Story, stray cat in my area, nearly scared me to death the first few times before I figured it out. Eventually it grew out of it, but then one of it's kittens started, it seems to be either taught or hereditary.
