We had gathered together in a restaurant and were chatting about some kind of investigation that we were involved in. Someone leaned towards me and said they were going to “let [me] in on a secret.” Apparently the people who we were hanging out with were all blind. “Don’t believe me?” He said, “listen closely to the hissing sounds.” Sure enough, there was a persistent hissing noise coming from most of the people’s lips around us, presumably to aid in their “vision” via noise. “We must mean the world to them”, they added. “Let’s not… get too ahead of ourselves here” I said.
