Echo~
I sat alone. It was like always though. When I was truly blind before, no one would associate with me, as they thought by being with me somehow... they were doing something wrong.
Now though, my powers were so discriminative it seemed, they wanted to keep me for themselves. I had gotten used to being alone and I became introspective and began living in my own inverted world that I never saw and only heard the echoes.
My parents didn't name me. They thought I wouldn't live long enough. If you give a name to something, you begin to care for it. They didn't want that. I named myself after everything I heard, all the time.
When I began seeing, it seemed so different. I saw, not with my eyes, but with my entire body. It was like I was destined never to belong anywhere but with the animals and the Earth.
The Earth whispered to me, like a best friend who tells you all of her secrets. Right now, I sat on a bed of leaves listening to the laughing and cries of the people around me.
I felt each of them, and by feeling them, I felt that I knew them. I knew everything, the media of their minds. And, that way, I connected with them, even if they never knew.
