Sounding Tradition: A Fictional Narrative

He heard the voice in his head again. He still didn't know the language, but somehow he knew it was asking who he was.

“No.” Why would she choose me to do that I thought to myself. There were many other people in my class who were equally capable to do that. I didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of everyone doing something that I wasn’t confident doing.

Although not exactly the response he had hoped for, Tom’s head nodded frantically, and when he found his voice, his words tripped over his lips in their anxiety to be free. “Y-Yes, I mean, I-I want to try, but I m-might not be any good so—”

“You don’t mind if we ask some questions about why you’re standing there all by yourself?” said

“NO. You tell me what you said” It demanded to break me away from my thoughts

“Etha-” I slap my hands over my mouth. That wasn’t my voice. Was that even me speaking? Maybe I didn’t actually say anything

“How? I don’t understand.”, I said my voice cracking towards the end of my sentence.

“Yes Radar.” I responded flatly, the faint singing of a summoning ritual being cast finally rooting in my mind.

“How old are you (F/N)?” I turned in the direction I heard the voice come from,

“Oh, I didn’t realize,” I grumbled. “I-I just had a dream I was running. Lord knows I haven’t done that in a while.” I forced a noise in my throat that might have been a chuckle, hoping to inject a note of humour in place of dignity.

This past Friday, April 22, 2016, My friends and I attended the deaf chat at the beanery coffee shop on baytree road. I was really hesitant to bring my friends Ashley and Jordan because they knew very little American Sign Language and weren’t educated on the proper etiquette of the deaf community. However, they always asked me to go and when I would tell them no due to their ignorance, they would always ask me to teach them some sign language and tell them the what was allowed in deaf culture so they could go to events with me. So I finally said okay and agreed that they could accompany to the next event.

"Who are you ??" I spoke ,well at least tried to .But no sound come out of my mouth .Now that i looked at these

I have been a student of the Great Highland Bagpipes for nearly 2 years now. I have had the privilege of performing with the Balmoral Pipes and Drums for just about as long. With Balmoral Pipes & Drums I have played in numerous parades throughout the city of Pittsburgh and the surrounding Allegheny county, besides parades I have played alongside them at St. Andrew's Society's Tartan Day and Pittsburgh's First Night Celebration for two years in a row now. Besides being a piper I am also an actor and this past September I managed to combine the two, playing the pipes in a production of Henry V with Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks, an organization that provides high quality Shakespeare to the public.

“ Sure, if you want to tell yourself that,” I said with an unsure look on my face.
