Ever since, she’d been doing that diligently, without giving miss a single day. She then entered the shower, draping a white towel over her breast and barely hanging up to her groin, humming her favorite song that she sang last night in the Blue Lagoon Karaoke she had visited along with her fiancé Rinto.

    Why I Sing Chaeley Winkler I cannot remember a time when I wasn’t singing. Of course, I know there was time before I could speak or burble as infants do, so there must have existed a certain silence before sound, however the mere thought of being so silent—unable to reach out with voice or touch—disturbs me to no end. But these thoughts of a time before sound hadn’t quite crossed my mind until I began to question the finer, tinier oddities in my life.
