Take These Eyes For I Have Seen

By T. Dalton

“God damn these eyes,” Samuel Farmworth said out loud. The old man struggled to get out of bed and turn on the light. The eyes were acting up again. Floaters, overcoming his vision even in the dark. He’d took his sleeping pills but hell if they did anything. The doctor must have botched the prescription again. Of course he did.
