Sensing the Universe

"Uni-sensory perception is sensing the universe. It's not exactly hearing or seeing or feeling, it's more like getting a sense of something, not in the regular way but in a magical way. It's like picking up on nonverbal cues." -The Incredible Magic of Being by Kathryn Erskine

Hearing Voices

"Charlie was very bewildered. In the morning he had been an ordinary boy. He hadn't been touched by a magic wand or banged his head. He hadn't had an electric shock or fallen off a bus, or, as far as he knew, eaten a poisoned apple. And yet, here he was, hearing voices from a piece of photographic paper." -Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo
