A Story A Day. Story 188 of 365: Listen.

One can learn a lot from listening. Normal things, secret things, even unspeakable secrets. Tina had learnt that long time ago, and she had perfected her listening skills. People usually talk too much, thinking their words will be lost as soon as they finish saying them, and that is what usually happens. Unless Tina is around, that is.

Thanks to her listening skills, Tina had been able to take herself out of difficult situations, yet, most of the times she just stored the secrets she had collected in a special part of her brain, in case she did need them. That wasn't necessarily a good thing, as her extraordinary listening capacity wasn't paired with a proper sense of ethics, and more than once she heard someone confessing a crime and never did anything about it. Not even plans for murder would make her look twice, she was basically a useless vigilante, throwing away her talent. And she didn't care.
