Heard from the garden

Distorted megaphone voice
indecipherable china-sharded words
brief silence
then the grass-blown screams of children
         
            ... sports day at the local primary school

    This one really resonated with me, I used to live near a primary school (as well as working in one).

    Thank you - I was initially astonished at how threatening and alien it sounded, before I'd identified the source.

    Wow. You convey a sense of the sinister extremely well. I felt a bit of relief when you reveal the sounds' source.
