Hi! This is today's story, "Vision." It is partially influenced by my own vision problems, but it's told through Jazz's shoes. I hope you enjoy!
Vision
"It wasn't always like this, Prowl." I say, my visor offline. "At one point Ah didn't have a visor." I hear Prowl move in front of me, and I can picture exactly how he's sitting. "It was mah first year at the Academy. Ah was at the top of my class, and had a good shot at staying there. One day, things seemed a little bit blurry. Ah paid no heed," I say, and I know that I've fully captured the attention of the black and gold mech.
"and that was mah biggest mistake. The next day, mah vision became covered with little purple hexagons that seemed to crawl from the corners of mah optics. After a little while, Ah couldn't see anything." Prowl shifts as he asks me the question that I know he'll ask. It's the question that they all ask.
"What happened?" I can tell that he wants me to continue the story.
"Nobody knows for sure, but mah optics were ruined. The medics had to remove them, and they weren't able to replace them. So they gave mah this visor.
The visor doesn't fix the problem. It has restored mah sight, but Ah'm still blind without it. Mah blindness has enhanced mah other senses, though. That's partly why Ah'm Ultra Magnus' personal cyber-ninja. It's also why Ah like music so much. Ya don't have to be able to see in order to enjoy it." I jump as I feel Prowl's slender servos take mine.
"Well, that explains a lot about you, Jazz." I online my visor and see that Prowl had moved closer to me when I was talking. "You were saying, though, that being blind has enhanced your other senses. Why did you jump, then?"
"Mah senses are only enhanced when Ah'm not distracted." I say, my smirk matching Prowl's.
This is something I could get used to.
