There is a faint Cantonese whisper in my ear
What sounded at first like mumbling from the distant car radio of someone parked across the street turned out to be a faint, faint voice coming out of my own computer's subwoofer, situated under the desk. It is very low volume, and as it's under the desk I don't actually hear the sound until it bounces off a nearby wall, which threw me off the scent for a couple days. Just the sound of typing is enough to drown it out.
Tonight I located it. I crawled down there, placed my ear against the cone, and lo! For all I know, I may be receiving messages of peace and friendship from aliens in another galaxy. Perhaps demons are teaching me the spells to unlock the gates of Purgatory. Perhaps there is a delicious new chow fun recipe that takes only 15 minutes to make at home. But alas. I don't speak Cantonese and I will never know.
