noise.

that incessant beep, constant. that ringing in your ear- soft, but there. Now it's increasingly louder, until it fills the void in your head. A frown crosses your face, squint into the sky. hear me now; no i can't hear you.
head pounding.
head ache.
head burst.

you smack your head- stop this ringing!, so relentless, so...so. Both hands come up to your ears and you squeeze your eyes shut and press tightly against the sides of your head where it hurts most.
you make a noise, some kind of unidentifiable noise. a grunt, perhaps.

and so you rock, you rock back and forth. you find it surprisingly relaxing. you don't care everyone is looking, no Staring, at you.

"is everything ok? "

"get away from me!"
