The sound of the howling of wind can carry with it many sensations. Consider the emotional response to the forlorn, singular wail that accompanies its passage. There may manifest in a mind loneliness, fear, apprehension. The usage of these wails as a sound effect to support tales of the supernatural or lonely, empty environments in movies is a favored device. I think of the giant crawly creature movie "Them" and its barren desert landscape perpetually being scathed by the strong winds. "Gargoyles" which has remote desert regions being engulfed in raging canyon winds. The Three Stooges' comedic short "Spooks" and the buffeting of a haunted castle by an incessant, pounding whoosh of stormy breezes. Whatever its many manifestations, wind as a sound and presence can carry a heavy emotional impact.
So enjoy this trifle I dreamed up and which resonates in my mind of the lonely wind coursing through a desert landscape.
