As Dr. Steve was busy talking to Lou’s parents, Lou was busy looking around the office that they were sitting in. The walls were a creaming white colour with nothing but a single poster on the wall. The poster read ‘Just because you can’t scream, you still matter!’ in bold black against a white background. Lou felt that the poster was very stupid because being unable to scream at all meant people will at suffocating protective of you, much worse than if you struggle with screaming.
“Lou, Lou are you listening?” asked Dr. Steve. “Yes Doc!” Lou replied. “Good, you understand that now a day it’s not bad if you can’t scream. Its not extremely rare since I’ve seen many!”
‘Of course you have seen many. You literally specialized in assisting those who can’t or struggle with screaming so you would of seen many’ thought Lou but he decided to stay quiet. Looking out the nearby window, Lou watched as Dr. Steve began writing the doctor note that would explain to the school that he isn’t to participate in any screaming events. It was annoying that he had to come back here because the school had misplaced the previous doctor’s not excepting him from such events. Once the visit was finally over, the doctor once again repeated that there was nothing to worry about being unable to scream but Lou knew that it was a lie especially because how important screaming was in life. Getting up, Lou watched as his parents shook the doctor’s hand, thanking him before they finally left the room. On the way towards the exit Lou did his best to ignore his parents gashing about how kind and helpful Dr. Steve was. Arriving back home, as Lou was making his way to his room his parents told him to get ready for school tomorrow. Lying down roughly down onto his bed Lou felt annoyed since tomorrow he was going to have to sit through a whole lesson on improving your screaming ability and how to use screaming as a way to protect yourself from dangers. Closing his eyes, Lou drifted off to sleep.
