A black windowless room is half filled with liquid.

A single drop falls from the celing.

You hear the two meet; silence ensues.

You can’t help but wonder, how far did the ripple go?

Did they reach the walls?

Or meet an obstacle along the way?

A raindrop outside the room feels the ripple.

It hopes one day to find its way into the room.
