The “Loophole”

Maia opened her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling in a cold sweat, panting. She sighed to herself as she got out of bed and walked out to the balcony to calm herself. 

She looked at the sky before looking to the other side of the apartment building. She saw a silhouette of a person standing there on the balcony staring back at her. Their eyes illuminating in the dark. 

Maia raised an eyebrow as she felt something wasn’t right and just as the moonlight hit the otherside of the apartment building her eyes widened as she felt herself freeze and fall back as she saw herself staring back at her. 

The supposed doppelganger looked at her with the same expression and began to yell something out to her. Maia couldn’t believe the scene and due to the shock of it all she couldn’t hear a thing. Within just a blink, her “twin” had disappeared. 

She felt herself grasp her heart from the shock, and ran inside as she shut the door behind her that led to the balcony. She rushed into her bedroom as she jumped into her bed and covered herself in her sheets. Closing her eyes, trying to sleep the hallucination away.

Basically explaining How we hear sound.
