Chapter 4

"You see...my daughter was recently in an accident and her eyes were affected." A million things were running through my mind. What sort of accident? Why am I here? What can I do? But I said nothing. She continued, "She has been temporarily blind the pas few months, and we had just moved here when....when it happened so she never had the chance to make any friends. Being in the hospital is not a place you can really socialize..." Again I had nothing to say. "But the doctor assured us it was only temporary and she has already started to see shadows instead of nothing but darkness, so we are hoping her full eyesight will return soon." I couldn't stay silent any longer, "I'm very sorry...but what does that have to do with me?"
