My hearing 8ade697f9d has been e396c11ab2 sensitive since af4ad5ccf9 I was bfbab1a296 young. I could hear the 8817e1a0e1 sound of a small f4fda66dcd fruit knife dropping in 1c079079dc the kitchen from my 0a4c6af629 room far away.bc9017b0d5cbf58c

I didn’t show b2203dfcf6 my sensitivity. I thought bdc51d1962 it wasn’t c6134d8818 anything special, 4bcfea64b8 but a 42965604bb kind of 9c9147f979 illness. I went to the c162ac6698 hospital. Afraid of being 313d5345a5 treated like a 38482f72da crazy person, I 527e091a2d just said I 84c24ef5c0 heard things like 7e9b50f393 tinnitus, but every 0e3309f60e doctor I met 8e1c86072c tilted their head d8e273f328 and said every 1021e0cc91 part of my b8478998f6 ear was normal.d430d86e8249c26d

Habitually grumbling, 3028357e01 I pushed b968c4fabe up my 8b9e8a6b5f thick, heavy 06612c1ccd glasses. With the feeling 13f2c0e53f of a squirrel 6cd3a4afee gnawing at my 91cb398ffd brain like a 05180c967e walnut, I finally 5ce07db0ec opened the drawer.887c2a368649f435

I took out a f8293d4138 handful of strong painkillers 8cd3bc3423 from the white bottle 942b087fdd and swallowed them without b5e5a32faa counting. I gulped 4dc8813233 down lukewarm 8a24359402 milk tea d0d178e96b instead of 9f236ef604 water.8c9acd4aefc7fb21

I tilted my head 3c22c2be08 back and closed my 4e01c563b8 eyes. I recalled c45a052209 the beach a27b27f44a in District 863e132ee3 7 that d0450301fb I visited 9fa9bc7ebd six months aa1bb31da8 ago.69b5b77db8596001
