Origins: Cue Sonic Laughter

"Don't. Please." I choked out as I tried to not laugh. "I. Mean. It." I twisted fruitlessly under their assault, squirming to get away from their fingers. "Please." But they didn't let up. I couldn't hold it in. I began to laugh uncontrollably under their relentless fingers. The sound echoing loudly around the room, like a cannon fired from close proximity.
Only then, only then did they pull away, cries of pain echoing around the room as people covered their ears. I gasped for breath, forcing myself to close my mouth with a snap. That's why people didn't tickle me. That's why I avoided these social interactions. My laugh was too loud. Nearly like a sonic boom really. And it did nothing but draw attention to myself and hurt others.
