Some broken bits, snatched from sleep

How people start shifting uncomfortably in their seats, how their voices become a shade louder, as a guard raised in anticipation of a threat coming in. They even start making noises just to cut out any chance of a word falling into their ears. A threat, that might disrupt their convenient, comfortable, safe lives...It might not, but why take a chance?

...How has this become such a common and inseparable part of people's lives? Through what path must the society have evolved and to what torture must it had been subjected to be distorted so? What events must've brought about this struggle to evade, this violence and defiance, this rigid resistance to thought?
