it burned. it burned so bright it would blind you. but i needed to look. to look and stare for hours. for days. for weeks. i looked at it without blinking for 83 years. for 83 years it's the only thing i saw. but on that day, that day when my life changed, i saw something else. on the corner of my eye, i saw it. i saw it and i knew. the light i was staring at for 83 years was nothing, nothing but the sun.
and so i let the lids rest, wept in silence and never opened my eyes again.
