Silent halls

Well, as the parental units decided to go to the Isle of Wight later this week, I'm back in my halls of residence almost a week before lectures start.  I do have an exam to revise for in the mean time, but today, the hall has been almost eerily quiet.  More people will arrive for their exams soon, but walking down dark and silent corridors has the tinge of a horror novel to it, even if you consider that place a home.
