HALF BLIND
By: Vanessa Sgroi
Dean moaned in pain and reached up to rub at his eye. The movement was halted by Sam's hand closing over his yet again.
"No, don't touch it, Dean."
"It hurts."
"I know. The doctor should be in soon."
"You said that an hour ago." A shiver ran through Dean's body. "How bad's it look?"
"Bad. I think that bitch scratched your cornea with her fingernail."
"Feels like it's full of glass—every time I blink, it's just..."
Sam's hand squeezed Dean's shoulder in comfort. "It'll be okay."
The doctor arrived then and began his exam of Dean's red, watering eye. Sam's on-the-fly diagnosis was soon confirmed. A deep corneal abrasion.
A list of precautions, antibiotic drops, and topical painkiller in hand, Sam helped Dean up off the exam table, steadying his brother when he swayed.
"This sucks!" muttered Dean. He gently fingered the white patch now covering his eye.
"Think of it this way, you get to be a pirate for a week or so."
"Not really comforting when we still have a monster out there killing people. My depth perception's gonna be non-existent."
"Stop worrying. We'll figure something out."
