It's said one doesn't truly learn the value of something until they lose it. For Vinyl, in this case specifically, that something happened to be silence. She knows things aren't going to get much better, either. She does hope, at the least, that she'll get to fall asleep quickly enough.

Well now, this is pretty good sad story. Excellent depiction of Vinyl's mindset and thoughts going through what she is. Suffering that is not gratuitous, and understandable reaction to it. Just the right length for your word limit. A+ all around.
Oof. Painfully effective moment of personalized torment for Vinyl. The bitter irony, regret, and insultingly thin silver lining of physical recovery come together in a very effective form of angst. Thank you for it and best of luck in the judging.
this really could be one of those ultra-short stories! so much background packed into so few words
love how much character is in this line
and oof, it really is like that sometimes! when the expected bad reason is true, at least our brains get the satisfaction of having predicted the future correctly, even if it means blaming ourselves
and oof, that grumbling and honesty in rumination, really been there, love it
i do remember how distressing my tinnitus was when i first started hearing it, but at least my life and job and identity didn't revolve around making music! i can't imagine how hard it must have been then
and oof, that is how you make this hit hard! this is what fanfiction is all about! these words are all that my brain needs to fill in the blank with everything wonderful i know about the OctaScratch ship, and what this loss really means. though this paragraph would have worked perfectly well without that connection, of course
and oof, yeah. it's nice to think that we always get better from these things, but no, sometimes things lost are permanently so, and we just have to learn to live with that. one of the many mundane tragedies of this world
aww, nice to see the seeds of Vinyl coming to the other side on this. that really is an irony to appreciate
augh, but that would make such great art that i would love because i am into stuff like that!
and augh, a nice way to end it!
this was a wonderful character study of Vinyl, facing a loss that is relatively "small" compared to the deepest valleys of life, yet no less worthy of a story to mourn. wonderfully subtle stuff. thank you for writing this!
and i am definitely curious about the title, haha
