ECHO

Mike Berger, PhD

I stared at the massive red rocks.
I shouted, “Hello.” The echo came
thundering back. The stark red rock
returned my greeting.
“How are you today?” I shouted.
“I’m fine, how are you?”
No! No! No!
That echo isn’t supposed to say that.

I searched the rock to see if someone
was playing a joke. It seemed clear that
no one was there. I knew full well that
big red rock was inanimate and couldn’t
answer back.

If the rock can’t talk, what did I hear? I
sat and pondered. One thought became
an inescapable. The echo I heard must
be an auditory hallucination.

I shouted again, “ Bite the wall.” The echo
came back, “ You jerk, I am the wall.”
