Claire Shea – Week 3

My watch is sometimes loud, sometimes silent. It's loud when I'm in my room and I hear how its ticks are out of sync with the clock. It's silent when I'm in the crowd, or when there's someone else around me, or when I forget to keep track of everything. It's somewhere in the middle when I'm trying to fall asleep at night and its noise fades in and out. When that happens, it takes effort to ignore, in the same way I try to ignore my own heartbeat when I start to hear it.
