[ WP ] You travel to a parallel dimension where , even though birds can talk and humans are incapable of speech , everything else is pretty much normal . That is until the humans hear YOU speak for the first time .

I traveled to the dimension. The nature was beautiful. And loud. Birds were capable of speech. They did n't use it for much, mainly mating and instructions to gather food. Whereas humans had built a silent civilization. Communication was done via body signs. Mostly people did their own things and did n't engage with others. 
 
 I landed on the outskirts of a big city, next to a large tree. The tree was loud, louder than New York on rush hour. It was mating season. I covered my ears and headed towards the city. At the time I was confused, I needed a human to talk to. 
 
 As I arrived, the town was quiet. It was midday, there were n't that many cars. The streets were relatively empty. A sense of slight loneliness hit me. I walked around the streets, counting the people for some reason. Then I finally gathered up the courage and asked a person: `` Hey, how's it going?'' I asked that from a quite old person, around his 60-s maybe. He got a shock and collapsed. Over the street, people noticed the old man collapsing and me trying to help him, they rushed to help. People ignored the fact, that I can speak and were keen on getting the man into a hospital. The ambulance arrived. I did n't see or hear anybody calling them, they just came. I was confused, the experience was completely silent. Nobody communicated. The ambulance rushed back to the hospital. 
 After the man got his help, people started picking on me. They stared me down, pointing at me and using signs that I did n't understand. Eventually another force appeared, the police. They arrested me, I co-operated as I needed somebody to talk to. Why were everyone silent? 
 
 I was put in a cell for a few hours until an investigator came. He started using signs that I did n't understand. They differed greatly from the sign languages back home. I was given a piece of paper and a pen for some reason. I quickly wrote: `` I ca n't understand you. I'm from elsewhere.'' on the paper and showed it to him. To my surprise he understood and wrote me back while asking for more paper in signs. He asked: `` why ca n't you understand basic communication?'' I hoped he would maybe understand me when I talk and talked, but he was just amazed. The birds were the only creatures capable of speech. And now a human? I understood his amazement and wrote him: `` what's going to happen to me?'' He answered: `` Sadly, due to the murder of an elder and mysterious acts of speech, death sentence.'' Did the man really die? Was it so bad? Where the hell did I appear? I was furious and broke my pen. He wrote to me: `` The sentence will be carried out in a week.'' I could n't wait. In this silenced world, there were no cellmates to talk to. I did n't actually know this, but I thought so. In anger, I grabbed one of the guards' guns and shot myself, hoping I'd wake up back home. I did n't.
