The Songs I Hear
nexus100 prompt: Sixth Sense


The music of the elements sang Alec to sleep and greeted him when he awoke in the morning. On cold days the wind and water songs were strong, blowing briskly in his mind soprano and baritone making a duet. On warm days fire took the lead a skipping bouncing alto. The earth was always a steady bass, thrumming through his feet and when he touched the stone walls of a building it hummed through his fingers. He sensed the song always, he couldn't think of a time when it wasn't there.

Sometimes he would look at the other people, the ones that weren't of his own kind, and wondered how they stood it, to be caught alone everyday, disconnected from their world not knowing how it sounded. He would try to explain it, what it was like, sometimes, but words never could capture it, it was like trying to describe sound to someone who had never heard or sight to someone who had never seen.

He felt sorry for them and wished he could share what he felt, knowing that then they'd be less alone and less afraid of the world around them.
