Silence.
That's all I can hear now. According to the "best healers" at Castle Araluen I would never hear anything's voice again.
Yesterday I signed the form that Crowley had put in front of me before he left. They left me all alone to sign my own retirement form. It wasn't as though I could ask any questions; the answers that I received would make no sense at all. With a trembling hand I put pen to paper.
Roughly ten minutes later both Crowley and Halt returned. My old commander looked over the paper I had signed, making sure everything was correct and then held up a piece of parchment he had written on earlier.
Any questions?
I shook my head no. With trembling hands I received my gold oak leaf pendant. Although it was sooner in my life than I would have liked, sooner than I would have even imagined as well, there was nothing I could do to change that new fact of my life.
My mouth dropped open in surprise as I saw Halt hand over a paper similar to mine to Crowley. It looked as though Crowley was refusing to take it though but Halt argued.
It was something I couldn't get used to ever. Mouths were moving by to me, it seemed as though nothing was coming out. Pretty soon I gave up trying to attempt to lip read and went back to reading.
A hand coming in between my book and I forced me to look up again. As was expected Halt was standing there looking victorious about whatever he had been arguing about and Crowley was looking annoyed. I was happy that even though I wasn't in the corps any more, nothing had changed.
I was happy until I was shown Halt's new gold oak leaf.
I gasped and then shook my head no roughly. I was deaf; something that only enforced my muteness. It was one of the oddest experiences to know that you are talking but to not hear anything. Halt grinned triumphantly and left the room dragging Crowley.
And once again I was left in the silence.
Question for this chapter is…
Does anyone actually look at the ratings for the story? Or do you just read anything no matter what?
