Dave



Dave has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Among other things, it makes him hypersensitive to certain frequencies.
The frequencies trigger PTSD symptoms.

So Dave sleeps in an insulated steel chamber
about five feet wide by six feet long by four feet high.
The walls are five inches thick.

“But bass sounds still get through.
Bass penetrates just about everything.”

The sound-proof chamber is in the back of Dave’s Ford van.
As soon as his workweek is done, he heads for wilderness areas
where things are far more quiet and thumping bass is rare.

“I can sleep about four hours straight out here,” he says, happily.

  1. I have been reading your posts from the beginning today. This one takes the cake.I sincerely hope Dave finds peace. Interestingly when someone clicks newer post it goes to a point and as I read and scroll down I am following you back in time. Interesting to say the least, not where do we go next, but where were we just previously...
