The intruder is a stream of consciousness story told in beautiful blank verse by a deaf child. She treasures her silent world: From my window I can see birds in suits of black and white march across green grass. I see them cock their heads and with one quick, bright-eyed jab fetch a worm. The child s world is changed by a cochlear implant, the intruder , which at first she has fearful reactions to: What are we doing here? Why are we here? She learns to accept the intruder: Sound. Sound, I hear you. I will learn you too, but you can never be as loud as my silent world.
