Chapter One - The Noise

My son was twelve when he looked at me the way you look at someone you're worried about. We were on a mountain. I was frightened, and it had nothing to do with the mountain. This is the story of how I got there. Not the dramatic version. The quiet one. Years of noise, building underneath a life that still, mostly, looked fine. Chapter One of Quiet Ops. Eight chapters. Eight episodes. Real stories about noise, and what happens when you finally go looking for where it started. Prefer to read it? The full piece is up on LinkedIn.
