I can HEAR!

It was a rainy day. There was a ferocious thunderstorm raging. Lightning flashed, followed by the roar of thunder.

I was happy.

I was secure at home. From the porch, I can see the coconut trees swaying erratically in the rain. The air was thick with raindrops, so thick that everything was in a haze.

The thunder roared.

I took a pin. Held in my hand. Lift up my hand. Dropped the pin. 'Plink' goes the sound. It was such a distinctive sound. I simply loved it.

On and on, I held the pin, dropped it, heard the sound, laughed! Repeat all over again and again.

The next day I went for my ear operation.

I never heard that sound again.
