The Gunshot

Compact; a lingering symphony of potential energy begins to expand, as the rippling waves of its surrounding cause heavy distortion to what now belongs to the stagnant air. A flash of light transcend the fissure within the shell, convolutes, mixing with what travels ubiquitously throughout the proximity of the occurrence, and envelops the central point from which it was born. Further expanding and imploding upon itself, a series of light and shrapnel creates an elliptical repetition. Suddenly, a sharp scream echoes out of the deafening, false silence; an illusory reaction so severe it disturbs the foundation of the soul.
