One day, I woke up and I could hear everyone’s inner voices.
It seem that i’d be a totally normal evening. I was mistaken. I understood that when my dad and my fingers brushed together when I handed him the salt. I thought I heard him saying something about his job. But I was wrong. He didn’t said anything about his job this morning. I brushed off thinking I was just imagining things. But then it happened again. When I was kissing mom’s cheek. I heard something he didn’t said out loud. But she said to me she just thought something similar to what I said.
Events were getting spookier. Was it some kind of superpower? Or was it completely a dream? When I was lost in my thoughts, I bumped to someone.
“Ugh, awkward…”
I heard a stranger’s voice. I asked him is he said something. But his answer was no. Like my mom’s and dad’s answer. I quickly apologized and got away from him. Hurrying on my way to class. I didn’t want to touch anybody else. Maybe tomorrow everything would tourn normal? Until tomorrow, I’d try to stay away from everyone.
Things… Didn’t go as planned. I literally bumped everyone. Somewhere brushed together or I crashed to someone. Like some kind of force wanted me to read everyone’s thoughts. I was insisting on not to read. I just wanted everything to turn normal. Why would I want to know random people’s inner voices? Most of them had dark thoughts, some had the most random thing in their head like a song or a meme, and some of them were discussing about something in their heads with their multiple characters. Some of them had depressing thoughts, some of them had the happiest thoughts that made me smile. And the small conversations in their heads, little bickerings, were pretty much entertaining.
I guess I’ll call it a day. A very unnatural day. When I could finally reached my bed, I slumped over it and closed my eyes. A very challenging and tiring day. But definitely not boring. I slept and everything turned back to normal when I woke up. It was very hard to not assume yesterday was a dream. But it seems to it already passed. Maybe I am imagining things.
