“Eyes are windows to the soul.” He took the saying to heart. What a waste now that their vessels are dead, eyelids closed, forever impeding them from witnessing the world’s beauty. No one seemed to care, but he did. And so the boy made it his mission to collect these windows: to show them how beautiful the world had become. He dug up carcasses trapped six-feet-under, freeing the eyes and letting sunlight pour over them on his porch. However, when neighbors discovered, his great task met a swift end and the beautiful world shunned the boy and his noble intentions.

I guess his intentions were good but the eyes wouldn't have seen too much beauty in the world these days. Your story showed great imagination, Jina. Comments are closed.
