harder words (B2+)
Snap Studios When I was little, my bedroom had laminated wood paneling with the swirls and rings like a real piece of wood and if I squinted at this fake wood paneling in just such a way I could make out eyes, the line there, a nose. I could almost see faces and a kind of smile,
a long stare. And when I dialed them in just right I heard voices. Not words exactly, not full thoughts, but voices. Voices talking, I don't know exactly, but they are it. Understood. I was there.
Listening. I knew, of course, to keep this my own little secret. secret and later I saw shades, shadows surrounding certain people, certain places. I kept silent about that as well. But sometimes those voices grew loud. Loud enough to wake me from a deep sleep, loud enough for me to marvel that the whole house didn't hear, the whole neighborhood.
