How Silence came to be all alone

Silence and Word couldn’t have been happier! Knocking up two meals a day was no easy task for them, but despite their meagre means they were never short of love for each other. Two years swiftly slipped by when their second child was born. They called here Poetry, but her mother hardly managed to see her before dieing.
With her gaze turning from her beloved spouse to her darling baby, Word passed away in Silence’s tight embrace.
