Tonight is the State Of The Union speech.

The theme for today is speech.

The world continued growing quieter and quieter. The ability to hear had left me years ago, but the knowledge of sound holds on. I once believed that as long as I could see I could hear.

It’s not the thoughtful conversation I miss, but the lively banter - the quick turn of wit.

I’ve watched them struggle to understand what I say. My mutterings now unintelligible. I’ve seen the embarrassment sweep through their eyes, as I cannot control my volume.

In the end, my inability to communicate through speech has left me utterly and completely alone. Isolated.

Exiled in silence.

The crime of unnatural acts of perversion was no laughing matter. In fact, it was a very serious accusation and I had no idea how I was going to spin this in my client’s favor.

It would take a minor miracle to convince anyone that he had even meant well, much less that he was innocent. However, since it was my duty and I was now forced to make a speech in front of the space station’s inhabitants, I’d do the best I could.

Now, if I could just get the llama out of the briefing room, I’d get started.
