As I pondered, and watched the eyelid unwrap itself like a horrible tentacle, I realised that opening the door was a fatal error. You see, I sit here, and it watches me intently. And of course, I stare back. 'What?' 'Stupid me', I think. It's a ******* eye. It can't speak for itself. But what if it could? Would it say anything? What about: *'Close that fuckin' door, yer lettin all the heat out!'* Possible, I guess.

The Eye.
As I pondered, and watched the eyelid unwrap itself like a horrible tentacle, I realised that opening the door was a fatal error. You see, I sit here, and it watches me intently. And of course, I stare back. 'What?' 'Stupid me', I think. It's a ******* eye. It can't speak for itself. But what if it could? Would it say anything? What about: *'Close that fuckin' door, yer lettin all the heat out!'* Possible, I guess.
On reading between the lines.
