Mute - the refraining of speech; temporarily speechless. "I am afraid to show you who I really am, because if I show you who I really am, you might not like it-and that's all I got." No one really knew what had gone on in the deranged head of Luke's. No one knew exactly what happened to him either within the time period of this year and the last, but no one cared to learn, anyway. After all, he was mute. Always seemed as if he was, and always seemed he'd be like that forever. And the last thing someone wants to do, is talk to someone who just won't talk back.
