I've had so much trouble describing what you so easily placed into words just now.

Standing in the middle and observing is one of the loneliest places on the planet these days. Taking it all in, rather than, half. It's like being surrounded by walls. The doors are locked. Both sides looking at you through the windows only see you standing in the other room with, them.

Both sides are loud, but there is not a peep coming from the middle. And if it does try to make a sound it quickly gets drowned out by all the noise coming from the neighbors.

It's eerie.
