The Letter "S"

I love the hiss of the letter S. Like slitted eyes that see so much more than you think, the letter S is slippery and serpentine. Fundamentally female, she whispers off the lips, lingers a few seconds before escaping slowly, subtly, and imperceptibly into the void of quietude.

> ess, shhh, ssssss, se

A small note: sss and shhh are two different sounds.
