and for those of you just joining us, the object of this fanfic contest was to write a Twilight fanfic about anything, any length, any character, based on the following poem:

"silence—excruciating in my ears
silence—amplifying all my fears
silence—it's real, it's there, it waits for me
silence—i am swallowed whole"

peace, love, and Jasper
