Eyes

My eye hurts sometimes. It has since I was a kid. I got it looked at by several different Optometrists. They told me some bullshit about not blinking enough and gave me eye drops. It’s bullshit because only one eye hurts. I blink with both eyes like normal people do. I think it has something to do with pressure, because it starts hurting before storms.

This is relevant, by the way.

I finally got out of the City when my eye started hurting like the Dickens. It hadn’t been bothering me for a while (I admit I was too preoccupied by my Fear hauntings and Tallie’s death to really care). Then, out of nowhere, in the middle of the City while I’m about to bash my face into the nearest wall if it would just stay still long enough, I’m nearly incapacitated with pain.

It’s this throbbing sensation centered on that optical nerve that slowly spreads outward. Like someone is repeatedly stabbing me right behind my eye with a needle full of acid.

Normally it’s just a dull throbbing that I can get used to, but this was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. One moment I was about to beat my head in with a rock, the next I was on the ground screaming. It felt like my brain was melting, starting from behind my right eye.

A Door opened up. I didn’t notice it at first, because my vision was whited out by pain. As soon as the pain subsided enough for me to think straight and see an opening, I pulled myself through that Door, and I was back in my room. The clock said only a couple of minutes had passed. The pain still hasn’t gone away completely, and my vision in that eye is all screwed up now. Everything is blurry and double and slightly tinged red.

I’ll probably make an appointment with the optometrist about it. I shouldn’t bother

There hasn’t been any obvious Fear activity since I got back. My room is even back to its normal temperature.

And that’s my story.

 Now I’m going to lurk on 4chan until I repress these memories to a dark, dark corner of my mind.
