My mother once asked me if I thought when people snapped they heard a noise. She thought they did. Snap. Like a dry twig breaking underfoot. And I say she's not all wrong. When I'm feeling particularly crazy, or when my medication is wearing off, I hear a sound. A very particular sound. Vreevren. Or Vrivreen. The context for it is this: when I used to clentch my teeth when I was a little kid this high pitched vreeeen would sound in my head. Not at all like the ear ringing Iiiiiiiiii sound. More like biting on tin foil or having an electric current run through your fingers. Vreeven. Vriveeeeeeeen. Vreeven. Vren Vren Vreeeven...
