Suddenly all the vowels were missing. Not just for me but for everyone it seemed. The thing was this though, no one else seemed to take notice. They talked like never before, nodding and someone in the back screamed. Even the scream felt surreal. Since I couldn’t understand the noise was excruciating. I felt sick, a headache I couldn’t do anything about. Five steps, ten steps away, I sat down right by the alleyway. Half outside and half inside with my back turned against the people.

No one talked and yet no one was able to shut up even for a minute. People walked past trying their damnedest not to notice the freak on ground. The feet hurried down, leaving tiny echoes in the sideway that bounced on the dumpsters and muffed on the cardboard.

Suddenly I see a pair of feet pointed towards me. I look up and see one of the cutest faces ever. She sits down too, smiles and says “hi”. She voweled. There and at that time it was all that mattered.
