Darkness

The darkness is mine, since I was five. Sick, sick "scientists" at the School wanted to enhance my already stellar vision, and in the process, I became blind. I remember that day so very clearly. The whitecoat Tammie had taken me to a chair. Like, on of those dentist- office chairs that you lay in while they clean your teeth? Like that, only the leather was ripped and had claw marks across it, no doubt from a previous experiment. I was chained, and then she had taken a lazer device onto my eyes. It burned, oh, it burned. I shouted until my voice was hoarse, and then gone.
"STOP!" I would yell, pleading, "please...stop! You're hurting me!" No answer would come from these people...if they could even be called that.
The "limit" for this device was posted on the wall.
POSTED LIMIT PRESSURE: 50 UNITS. The pressure had long ago passed 800. The pain was unbearable. She stopped, and the searing pain remained. She made marks on her clipboard, then left me all alone. I breathed heavily, and then I struggled against the chair. My vision was cloudy, as though my eyes were watering up. A gray fuzz formed, then blackness enclosed my eyes. I thought...I thought that it was only temporary. But no. Tammie returned, and made some noises.
"What color is this?" she asked, holding something up.
"I don't know." I answered with my raspy voice.
"It should appear a violet mix, if the operation worked."
"It didn't." answered a voice. Jeb's voice, "He's blind."
It was then that a scream erupted from my mouth. Harsh and real and raw. Dozens of guards rushed up to me to hold me down, but my rage was uncontainable. Yeah, my five- year old rage was impressive, being trained in-cage by a neighbor, this girl names Maximum Ride. I didn't know her then, but my best School friend did. Fang, he called himself. They weren't blind, and neither was I, until that fateful day….
But this my life. Not seeing anything. In a way, it's comforting. It's always there, always constant. It is nothing but the darkness, all that I'll probably ever see.
