    i headr u liek lotsa chractres Nice chapter, but many characters at a time seems, well, a bit rushed. I usually like to work with 3-4 characters max per chapter, but it's your story anyway.

     

    Leaving that aside, it's a grest story. And the traitor....yes, I do have a vauge idea of who might be, but I won't tell ya ;)

     

    So your story gets: 19.5/20

    Well, there's this one guy in eastern Europe who's blind from birth. And became quite an artist. What surprises people is that he can paint objects with accurate color placements, even though he had never seen color in his life.

     

    He also drew the Parthenon in perspective. So, props to him.

     

    True, but I couldn't live (at least not as hapilly as I do know) blind, ya know. But if this guy can, good for him. Erase that, sorry. I accidentally thought you meant my almost-deaf experience.

     

    But reconsidering, I guess this guy must have quite a happy life.

    Oh, you just reminded me the time when I almost go deaf :(

     

    The story is, that one day I woke up and found out that I couldn't hear at all. I tried to scream, I tried to play my electric gutiar at the max volume; but it was useless. I could't hear a thing. Of course that brought me some issues, you see, since it was harder for me to communicate, because I couldn't be sure of what I said and neither could I know what the others told me.

     

    I went to the doctor (and almost got hit by a bus in the way over, because I couldn't sense it) and he told me (actually, he wrote it on a blackboard) that my ears were damanged from over exposure to high noises. This shocked me, because it was actually true: Back on the day, you see, I used to hear my iPod at the max level and even sleep with it. As he explained to me that what I needed was some rest and some eardrops, I just began wondering: What if I can't listen ever again? The concept scared me: I wouldn't be able to listen to my family, my friends, nor playing the guitar properly or listening to music at all. That's when I realized that we all are gifted with something special. And it was something worth of taking care of.

     

    Luckily, after 2 weeks of non-hearing and asking people to write down somewhere what they wanted to tell me, I regained my hearing again (not fully, jus around 90%, as the doctor told me) and from that time, I was more concerned about my ears. But a question still bugged me: Could I live as a deaf person?

     

    I tried to answer that question using some cotton in my ears and trying to live a normal day. I found out it was hard, and yes, sad.

     

    But your entry also reminded me that we have to stop from time to time and give thanks for what we gave now; since we don't know when it will be taken away.
