Not Blind

A dream in which my sister turns out not to be blind.


a less-creepy eye


My sister Matie was blind. This was a new development, but we were all dealing with it. It was kind of sad, but I guess we'd gotten over it.

She walked into stuff a lot, but she was getting used to it. Boy, could she curse! It was like Captain Haddock from Tintin, except with actual profanity. Pop was proud.

"Hey," I said, "You're not blind, you're deaf!"

"Oh. Yeah, I guess." She looked a bit startled.
