A one shot about losing hearing/gaining deafness


"So you're not scared?"

"Most days? Not really. I mean obviously it's an adjustment. And crowds and phone calls are annoying. But most days I'm just annoyed with the being in between. You know, hearing people smack and slurp and pop gum but not hear half of the fricking conversation. Of text alerts bothering me but not the lunch bell. Most days I'm excited almost to get rid of frustrating sounds forever. But then I remember rain, and singing in the shower, and listening in on intense conversation and the sound of his voice. Especially his voice. Warm and fearless. And then I remember how hard learning ASL is and how absolutely terrifying it all is. And then I remember the community. And I feel...happy."
