The Broken Tower

You lift the heavy wrench high. The beep screams in your ears. With a loud CRACK, you smash the antenna. Sparks fly. The shadows melt away into the night sky.

Down in the town, people blink and rub their eyes. The fear is gone! But so is every song, every voice, every friendly radio hum. The speakers sit cold and silent.

You climb down slowly. The streets are still. No music. No news. Just wind.

You saved everyone, you think. But the quiet feels strange, like a friend who forgot how to talk. Tomorrow, you will build a new tower — a kinder one. For now, you listen to the soft, safe sound of nothing at all.
