Yours unbearably

from: Toby
to: Ted

I’ve been experimenting with deafness it is beautiful the world is still I can think at last
Interestingly all of my other senses have increased to make up for my lack of hearing, including my sense of hearing, thus restoring my hearing. Which sort of renders the whole experiment pointless.

Toby (or NOT Toby? That is a question!)

from: Ted
to: Toby

Toby (but not NOT Toby, for I speak not to shadows)

It’s okay they’ve filled up again now. Everything is as it should be. Muffled crumps are all I can perceive, the occasional grinding of cog against skull bone, too.

I am free once more to shout.
