Things That Bang

“Which of your eyes do you love the most? The left or the right?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“You know what I don’t like your left eye. It’s an evil eye. You need to stop seeing from that eye.”

“Wait a minute! You can’t do that- what is wrong with you?”

“Wrong with me? That eye makes you see and do evil things. It must be removed. You will still have one eye to see with. And hopefully your right eye will behave itself after the left eye is punished.”

“No please! I love my eyes.”

“Oh, I love you too but you see that eye is out of sync with the rest of the world, with us and we can’t have that. The eye must go.”

“But its not harming you, what has it done against you?”

“Its gone against everything we stand for, it shames us”

“My right eye cannot exist without the left. They see together. I cannot have one view alone.”

“Don’t you see that is what we want – we want you to see only what we see.”

Please my eyes..please!! it hurts too much, don’t ….AHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

Few hours’ later groggy self wakes up with a bandage on the left side where the eye was.

The right eye blinks and focuses on a face with a patch where the left eye was.

“Welcome back! How is your eye doing today?”
