Booktok Eye Socket Novels & Stories

I say in Greek, hoping Bronx won’t understand it. The cover of the book stretches and creeks, until a bulge forms below the embossed title. The bulge grows until it looks like a closed eyelid. I take off the dragon scale glove and run my hand close to the surface, careful not to touch it. When it senses me just an inch away, the eyelid snaps open, exposing a crisp apple green eyeball. It looks around, surprised to be awakened until it lands on me and watches, waiting for instructions. “What the fuck?” Bronx lets go of my hand and backs up until his back is against the door. “Kas, tell me that’s not what I think it is. It’s some sort of replica or some shit. Tell me that’s not real.”

But Eric… My neck goes soft and I hang my head. “The happiest.” My eyes fill with tears. “Then uncover more of me. See me.” A reddish-green stain forms on my pocket that holds the prosthetic. I step closer to the wall and pull at some of the rocks around the skull. I don’t care if my nails snap. I’m seeing my boy again. I notice the skull’s left eye socket has some small red, veiny strings dangling from it. Red liquid drops off them and they settle on the bottom of the socket.

This sentient book was an a limited edition enchanted artifact he happened to chance upon being sold at Madam Xu's general merchandise. It was a huge hard bound book made out of leather, with a human face imprinted on its cover; more accurate to say, it looked like a reflection of one's face when looking to a mirror. This all knowing talking book functioned like an encyclopedia. You can directly asked the book any question and as long its author has an information to it in the record, she could immediately retrieve it and provide the answer to the book bearer real time. Earlier, Steve asked the book where they can get another Magnus Eye and so they were told that the other half of the pair

David's face burned tomato red as Satake shifted to the side. Hesitant, David turned in his direction and noticed his eyes were closed. He wasn't sleeping. At least not deep enough to be considered a slumber. Satake's eyes opened again. His attention flew to the book nestled on David's bosom. "What is that?" He asked. "A book about relics," David replied, sitting up and placing the book on his laps to hide his bulge. Satake did the same.

His words seemed to be said to the air in front of him, or to the mound. If other people were present and saw this scene, they would either think that this person was talking to himself or thinking that he was crazy. But the next moment, the mound of soil in front of the man suddenly moved slightly. When a piece of soil fell off, a huge dim yellow eye was revealed! This pair of eyes was as big as a tea table. It was more than enough for a seven or eight year old child. This eye was divided into several layers like a snake's or a lizard's eye.

My eyes bulged out of their sockets. Xavier?

I took a step out of my doorway to look down the hallway and my foot collided with something hard that was on the floor. "Oww Oww Oww," I yelped in pain. My poor baby toe I want to howl but I know better so I bite down on my lip as I let out a soft cry and begin to hop on one foot.
