You can probably tell by the image for this post, but the votes were split in half between taking away Portia’s ability to speak and her ability to hear. So I am writing the scene right now that takes away both those abilities in Casebook 10 (way to throw a curveball friends!). Thanks for voting and helping to create this casebook.
PS: Titles currently in my head include ‘Blink’ , ‘Seeing is believing’ , ‘Hear but Not’ – any of those jump out at you?
Don’t use “Blink”, it’s been used for a Doctor Who episode. Also, I think if you’re going to take away two major senses you should research hHelen Keller (though knowing you, you’ve probably already thought of that).
Oh, good call Rami, ok, NOT Blink. And yes, I was already looking into Ms. Keller (though our telepathic connection continues to impress me). Thanks!
How about ‘The One-Eyed Man is King’? Or in this case the one-eyed woman?
hmm. I get where you’re going with this idea, Ben, but she’s NOT blind. In fact that’s pretty much the only ability other than touch that the girl still has, and that title makes me think ‘land of the blind,’ — might be too clever for a title.
Ack, I was going to say “Blink” is a great title. I wouldn’t worry about sharing an episode title from a long running show… it’s not like you’re using “The Phantom Menace”. The other two titles don’t really do anything for me like your other titles… these ones sound a little cheesy.
Lol; I’m calling my NEXT casebook The Phantom Menace because I think my story will be better than the original. Thanks Mike!
Might do the world a favour… in time that Star Wars movie will be forgotten and only known for ripping off a Portia Adams casebook.
Its for the good of humankind really…
