Surrounded by Silence

 One day without my hearing. I miss my Dateline episode and whatever characters I’m barely listening to anyway. I long for my niece yelling, “Nat Nat!” as I get home from a rough day. I want to hear my dad’s pointless stories that he will probably repeat until I get annoyed. I wish I could hear my brother’s voice on the phone when I call for no reason. I can’t stop thinking of the sounds I fail to hear. The dogs I don’t like, or my bird chirping at night. 


One day without my hearing puts me at risk. How would I know if someone was behind me? What if an alarm goes off and I am unaware? What do I do if someone has something of extreme importance to tell me? What about the friends that can’t talk to me? Will they still want me?
