'Quiet' begins on a fairly harmless, mundane note - a boy sitting on an exercise mat, assumedly finishing a workout or a meditation routine, when his phone lights up. Following the notification, he heads out to return only later into the night.
However, once home, a very strange event begins to develop - the constant sound of someone’s breathing, coupled with a stranger coincidence on his phone screen every time he checks the time. It has been thrice so far, sufficient times to make him realize that something is truly amiss. The short narrative adopts an indirect manner to present a reality of thrill and suspense, perhaps even tying it with the horrors of a mind for whom the reality is fraught with darkness and altered in an irrevocable manner.
