Cheer – (Chapter: Someone You Hate)
Deaf and Dumb Kate
There are moments in life when I really do not want to feel a thing, and there are times where I want the world to collapse into me so I can feel everything at once. Strain all my senses to their breaking points, or deaden my brain to the point of waking dreams that drift lazily so I do not know or care if they are mine or not.
There is never an in between or a happy medium for someone like me.
The tips of my fingers have frayed nerves, Merkel endings that tingle when you graze coarse surface or the smooth. They are dumb in telling what it is at first because it is all the same to them. A sensation is just a sensation. Your brain distinguishes each impression. It is amazing, all being a few strings right under your basal layer of skin that can tell you so much.
Carpet, like that spread in Rachel’s house, is rough weaved together fibers that I am very familiar with. The color being the mundane light brown and coarse to the touch. Skin like mine is smooth microscopic cells. I move my grooved padded fingers along both. My skin, the carpet, and soft cotton of my clothes back and forth that tingles right to the stiff joints proximal and distal that link to my metacarpals.
Rachel is talking and I am trying to tune out the frequency of her voice by thinking of facts that hold no bearing to normal people, but to me mean my whole prolongation of meager magnitude and societal standing. ‘The human hand has twenty-seven bones that are grouped into the carpal, metacarpal and phalanges with the wrist being the most complicated joint on the body formed by eight carpal bones.’
“Tell me more about Ashley.” Rachel asks much of me at day’s end with a question that is wrapped in heavy history. A question that yields face that I would rather not recite just now. My mind does not want to think of Ashley but all the other trivial points of knowledge I have acquired and so it rolls onto:
‘The radial, ulnar and median nerves have both sensory and motor components. The median nerve is responsible for the fine motor functions of the fingers on your hand.’
