hello and welcome to a short storey where I play death for several weeks to avoid speaking to a man I didn't like. This is not to make a mockery of deaf people. I didn't intend to play death. I fell into it and had to keep the act going. I remember casually walking around my area day dreaming of a better life, casually here, looking around, and I noticed a gentleman staring at me, giving me an adorable. He said hello and I ignored him and kept walking. This became a regular occurrence as he learnt my commuting times on the terms I went to walk my dog. He did the same thing, said hello and I ignored him. One morning as I was travelling to work, it was within close earshot, and I heard him shout Hello really loudly. It was so loud, it was painful. I froze for 20 seconds from her ears to adjust to the noise. I held my ear and kept walking. I heard him whisper, Oh my God, she's I want I looked around and there was nobody else there, just me and him on the road. At this point, I realised he now thinks I'm death and I need to keep this act going. I wasn't sure if I would get caught because we live so near to each other. But I had to keep this going. One evening I was out with my friends standing my front door. We were entertaining ourselves, chatting nonsense, and I supported the guy. I quickly indicated to my friends he thinks I'm deaf. So from now one, I'm deaf. We need to communicate through sign language and speak appropriately. They looked puzzled by grade, so he stood across the road watching us for some time watching my friends struggle to communicate with me. Why should we struggle to understand them? And he's shouted across the road. She's death. Everybody otherwise stared at me. They all knew fully well that I am not deaf and my friends went way. Now she can it great. And so that's what I had to do. Act as if I didn't hear that conversation that's completely zoned out and waited for him to disappear so he could carry on talking normally seven long weeks, I can't act up, and then eventually he found in your girlfriend it was a relief I no longer had to pretend to be deaf and no longer had to ignore him. I could just go about my daily business living my regular life. After seven weeks, when he found in your girlfriend he realised I wasn't deaf. He realised I faked all along and he was really angry with me. But there was nothing I could do. He seemed I was deaf after I was ignoring him. And so I had to keep me up to going. I regret nothing, and I would definitely do it again if I was in a no good situation.
