“Yeah!!” [reaches inside the pocket of his jacket, pulls out an eye, enthusiastically places it on the table] “I got my prosthetic changed last week and they let me keep the old one!!!”
i stare at the eye. the eye stares at me. it is an extremely realistic rendition of an eye, which i suppose is the goal, but while the one on his eyesocket looks absolutely perfect, it is somewhat disturbing to have an exact copy of it on my table.
i did not expect to see someone’s third eye today, but what do you know.
“IT’S AWESOME, ISN’T IT?”
it is pretty awesome so i nod. i wonder why he asked to keep it. i wonder whether he brought it with him because he had a medical appointment or if he’s just been walking around with an eye on his pocket for the last week or so.
the former is the logical assumption, but he has like, a really mischievous face and something tells me that he’s gonna use it to prank his friends -
