What It's Like To Be Me

What if you woke from a nap and found that all was black about you? What if the hairs in your ears crackled as you strained to see? What if you could feel sounds but not see anything farther away than your nose? Your heart would race, your swallowing saliva would sound like a pulsing shower, and your teeth moving up and down when you opened your mouth might sound like captive printers inside your head. What makes your hearing so acute? You are visually impaired or blind.
