there were shadows in his head where no one could see them, where no one believed they were there, with the density of a forest all loam and lichen. he reckoned that's why his eyes were so dark a grey: they were mere silver-tinted glazing, transparent, showing through to those shadows fluttering like a flock of dying doves. sometimes he used to choose to do things even though he knew they were bad ideas; he'd had a light that showed him everything so plain and simple. now he just couldn't see past the shadows into the place where consequences lived.
