• Granted. It answers in languages you don’t understand. It’s exhausting to filter its voice out when you are asking somebody a question and want an actual answer. You eventually get tired of it and try not to ask questions. Your relationships slowly fall apart as the habit of non-reciprocal conversation sets in. Already marked as anti social, you’re eventually committed when you admit you don’t like talking to people and asking questions because of the voices. The doctors refuse to indulge your request for a linguist to see if somebody, anybody can understand what’s being said.

    A small cricket jumps behind you everywhere you go. It psychically communicates to you but you can’t seem to talk back to it. But not because it can’t hear you. Indeed it answers every question you have. You find most questions aren’t things you really want answered. In fact you come to learn you have a lot more questions than you ever consciously realized. Every slight insecurity and uncertainty about yourself has a question behind it and now you receive an answer for each one of them, often in the affirmative.
