Sometimes when I am idol, I think of a great beginning for a story. This Will be one of many , but it's a start.
"I cannot see. I cannot hear. I cannot speak. All I am is a dreamer, trapped in a convention of thoughts, lost in a false reality,"He preached to his numerous audience. "This is what someone who is both deaf and blind feels." He went on and on and on about awareness and what to do when you meet a blind or deaf person. But that was one year before I knew the truth.To this day, I still go through those words in my head. I used to think he was right. Why question a scientist? But It wasn't until that day when I realized how wrong those words may be. Or how true. But what I can tell, is that when you are both blind and deaf, your senses are a billion times sharper.
It was that day, when everything started to change. I got sick, and through the year I lost both my most important senses before my parents could get over all their financial problems and find a doctor that could cure me. but now thats over and I am blind and deaf, but I can see and hear more than anyone. The day i woke up from the surgery, I could feel the cool hospital bed sheets and taste the dryness in my mouth. I slept the rest of the day or so I was told and the rest of the next morning. When I woke up, I was still blind and deaf and i tried to cry but no tears came. I touched the bandage they put over my eyes and slowly and carefully unwrapped it. I opened my eyes and saw nothing. I strained my ears but heard nothing. Bot just then I saw a flicker of light and heard some far off noises. I opened my eyes a little wider and strained a little more. In that moment on that day, sound and energy burst into my vision. I could hear the beating of a hundred hearts and see the entire spectrum. Never had i known the true beauties of the world but here, was everything. I saw every color, the insolation in the walls and the parking lot behind it. I saw the energy emitting from everything and the ultraviolet rays and microwaves and radio waves bouncing around. The thermal heat coming off of everything, more colors than the naked eye could see. I heard all that was going on everywhere, the sound overwhelming me and I let out a shriek. I jumped out of bed and walked to the door, seeing my mom behind It. This was all overwhelming I had to tell her about seeing through walls or radio waves. But then it hit me. This is why no one knows about the blind that can see. If they did, we'd all be a science experiment or called insane. This will be the biggest secret of my life, and I must do everything to keep it.
