Right, so this was written for the third annual OC sentence challenge.

My sentence was “Seth loses his hearing (momentarily or permanently)”

This was sad, but also hopeful.
Cause the boys really can understand each other without words.
Ryan always could say everything with just a look, so Seth can still understand him even without the help of his ears.

Now if only the parental units would start to deal with it as well...*sigh*

Thanks, yeah I wanted to bring across that Ryan and Seth can learn to understand each other without any words but Sandy and Kirsten find it too hard to deal with the whole situation. Thanks again for commenting :)

i loved this and the way that you wrote ryan being able to communicate with seth even through his disability. because i can understand how that would occur. ryan uses body language a lot.
i also liked how you wrote sandy and kirsten not seeing seth as seth anymore. it made sense in a way but also very disheartening.
also i loved the last paragraph. it was so cute and added a loving and deep connection between the pair.
this is just one clever fit my dear. :)

Aw! I liked that the boys could communicate easily without words. Boo at the parents for not making a better effort, but it would be hard to have your child changed like that.

Thanks so much for playing along. You did a great job!

Thanks so much for sorting everything out with the challenge. It was really fun to do.
Yeah I sort of wanted to write Sandy and Kirsten different to most stories as most stories have them really caring and being there for Ryan and Seth whatever happens and I wanted to write where they weren't the picturesque parents as such a life changing thing happened with Seth loosing his hearing.
Thanks so much for commenting

Aww this is lovely. I'm not usually a big slash reader but you create such a nice sensative bond between the boys that it woeks really well. Theres such a nice flow to your writing. Lovely.

Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Wow. I'm so... wow. That's so much more than what I was expecting. So much sadder, but with a bit of love tacked onto it so you don't break down and cry for Sethela. Pobrecita!

You did excellently, my dear. Thank you so much for writing this for us(me!).
