Winter soundscape

You could say there was utter silence here.

But that really isn't true.

Snow with little or no wind is like that.

Muffled sounds at best.

You want to hear something.

You strain to hear anything.

Then a branch breaks under the weight of the pressing snow.

A snap.

A thud.

A cry from a frightened bird or squirrel.

Then silence again.

5 minute freewrite prompt utter silence
