Defenestration Day

C. opens up his window, takes a deep breath, and screams as loud as he can. He hears the responses of so many others screaming back enigmatic phrases, mysterious calls and bellows. He does this on a holiday known as Defenestration Day, a day where people throw away their words which can never be used again. The history of the first Defenestration Day has only become more complicated with time. Stories are told, truths blur, embellishments become reality. Those that claim they were there, probably weren't. The holiday has no religion or political stance or nationality. It emerged spontaneously and spread rapidly. It is most likely the only lingual holiday celebrated in the history of the world. Because only in a society where everyone already talks over one another would we decide to create a holiday devoted to doing just that. That holiday is today.
