Summary: A few of Josh's thoughts during his little breakdown in Noel.
Notes: Anya wanted a drabble using a phrase which I now can't remember even though it's in here.


He's drowning in himself. Falling into an endless black vortex of nothing except the sound.

It fills him and he can't breathe. Can't breathe. He's falling.

Can't get the sound out.

Air drifts in hot currents - swirling, eddying vortexes twisting round.

It belongs within him. Heart beats; vibrations louder than silence but nothing drowns the sound.

The sound is calling, calling.

The music; the lights. Dancing into oblivion. Faster and faster around the maypole.

Cymbals. Drums. Rhythmic beating. Faster and faster.

Spinning around and around. Nothing and everything.

Screaming.

Fingers upon flesh.

Rescuing. Saving. Condemning.

Can't get her sound out.
