Summary
Matt and Chester return from a fishing trip with a horrendously plain, droning murmur following them to Dodge City. Its consistency is maddening, stealing the brief pockets of silence from their lives they previously utilized as a respite from the people-chatter and clamor they’re usually up to their necks in. The roles are reversed as they find that any layer of noise louder than a hum smothers it, forced to become attuned to living life surrounded by constant hubbub or an audible version of uncanny valley haunting them every moment they’re alone.
Gritting it out they won’t stand for when faced with the idea of enduring it for the remainder of their lives, much less the next few months, so born of this desperate scrabble away from the omnipresent Hum they find foothold in the long, dreary process of halting it.
