"I'm fine, Peter. I've only had two attacks in five years."

"And you have lost 20% of your eyesight."

I turned around to look out the window, noticing the dark edges around my line of sight. I had gotten used to them now, but back when I had my first attack, it had been terrifying.

It felt like I was in a tunnel, able to see the light at the end, but feeling like the space was closing in on me.

Suddenly, everything went dark, but before I could freak out, Peter took my hand.

"It's just the power that went out again, Jasper."

I sighed in relief.

"Let's go look for some candles and maybe a lantern."

I nodded and grabbed Peter's hand.

For anyone else, it might have been slightly uncomfortable to walk in the afternoon light. For me, it was scary. My peripheral vision was null so I literally had to look in every direction before stepping forward.

Since there was still light out, I offered to help look in the kitchen; it was the place with more light in the whole house and I knew I would be capable of spotting what we needed if I found it there.
