Her friend was talkative and friendly to strangers.
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Talk."
She slinked in the shadows, searching for survivors.
She found them one by one, in hovels, holes in the ground,
and on youtube. They were like her
and she prayed for them without making a sound.
Her friend called into the night, "Hello, you over there!"
And people turned.
She made a big impact in the world. Lives were changed.
People were seen. Stories were told. She knew others.
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Speak."
