"Okay, does telling scary stories so nonchalantly run in your family or something?" America was staring at the young girl. Liechtenstein blushed, whether of pride or embarrassment was hard to tell.
Several of the other nations had slightly blanched. "What a horrible way to go, aru," murmured China.
"Being unable to see has got to be the worst," said Moldova, "I mean, just…" He shivered, unable to get the words out.
"I suppose going without sight is quite awful," Russia mused on, "But wouldn't you say losing your hearing is just as bad?"
"I see what you're getting at, Russia," nodded England, "But humans in general rely on sight before sound."
The Russian chuckled. "Oh, I am not saying otherwise. It's just that sometimes there will be situations where you don't have sight, so it'd be rather unfortunate if you couldn't even depend on the next best thing…"
When You're Asleep

Don't you love sleep? Or rather, more specifically, that feeling of complete rejuvenation after waking up from a long slumber? It's just one of the best feelings ever! Of course, you only ever feel this if you manage to get a full night's sleep, which can be difficult in today's bustling and noisy world.
Fortunately, the body does a pretty good job accomplishing this. It is, for example, pretty good at tuning out noise less than 45 decibels, give or take a few. All things considered, that's pretty good; that means your mind doesn't have to waste energy distinguishing whether every little noise is a perceived threat. That means if you're sleeping deeply enough you more than likely won't awaken to anything less than normal conversation, which is about 60 decibels.
Or to a door opening, roughly 30 decibels loud.
Or to footsteps, about 20 decibels.
Or to quiet breathing, only 10 decibels.
Or to someone staring at you, an astonishing 0 decibels.
Oh well. Anyway, I hope you sleep well tonight!
