Feels Like Sand In My Eye When I Blink Novels & Stories

I told him seriously as my eyes got extremely blurry and they burned. I brought my hand up to rub my eyes to try to rid of whatever was burning my eyes. I heard a gasp escape Santo's lips, I quickly looked over at him, my vision still slightly blurry. I think it’s just the saltwater irritating my eyes. I was out in the ocean...just floating there, too shameful to want to climb back on my boat. “What?” I asked him, bringing my hands up to my eyes again, and once more I tried to rid of whatever was causing my eyes to burn.

Liv lifts a hand to her face, rubbing at her still closed eyes. They are so dry that they feel like sandpaper. She tries to open them but the light hits them and they burn like fire. She quickly closes them with a quiet groan, lifting an arm to cover them in the hopes of eliviating the pain.

I feel light touch, I open my eyes, and to my surprise, I see my hands, I start to panic, What's going on? I see someone approaching me, a man with rich grey hair, he stops in front of me and snaps his fingers, my eyes widen "Father?", he smiles at me, my eyes gather tears and I hug him "Oh father, I was so scared, I thought I lost you" tears freely flow down my face, I use my hand to wipe the tears, I wear a bright smile " I can see your face, isn't that great! I don't know what's happening" He touches my face and kisses me on my forehead, suddenly everything becomes blurry "What's this?, why can't I see you anymore?" I stretch my hands "Father!, father!" I cried out "Father!...."

His injured body stirred slightly, having received a vial of life. I leaned closer to place my forehead on his. Our skin held on to each other like magnets. A sharp, pain rose in my head. I could feel a sting in my eyes. It felt like my eyes were poked with sharp pins. My eyes watered. I was testing up. I felt the first drop escape my eyelids but it didn't feel like the usual runny feel of tears. It was thicker and smelt like…. Blood.

My eyelids flutter open, but the world is an unfocused blur. A sharp sting pulls at the edges of my vision, making it hard to concentrate. My eyes feel as though they’ve been sealed shut, like it was crusted with remnants of dried blood and sweat. Each blink is like scraping sandpaper against my skin. I barely manage to peel them open and, for a moment, all I can see is the dim flicker of a single lantern swaying above me, casting erratic shadows on the four corners of the canvas walls around me. The lantern’s light dances wildly, its movements jarring and unpredictable. It’s like the flickering of my thoughts—disjointed, fragmented, struggling to come together.

ZENEVIEVA Why can't I open my eyes? I blinked and I felt pains, gosh!! All my body felt intense pains as If i was carrying a stone and a little sigh escaped my lips. My sight was blurry and my throat was scarred with dryness and pains. I tried swallowing my saliva to moist my throat but It iched me instead and I groaned in discomfort. A sharp gasp escaped from someone's lips and I wondered who it was. I couldn't see clearly and I stretched my hands and asked for water.

A whoosh of air, a sudden release that hauls him back and pushes me away, so I’m dropped on my a** in the dirt, blinking stupendously. It’s all a whir of mere seconds, as though I’m in slow motion and the world is speeding around me. My vision is blurry with tears, and my left eye is burning so bad it’s streaming. As I try to acclimatize, I can see the fluid form of a trained fighter, a silent, deadly movement and intimidating presence.

Dear lord, blinded wоuld bе аn undеrѕtаtеmеnt. A few mоmеntѕ lаtеr I tried аgаіn, blіnkіng ѕеvеrаl tіmеѕ tо gаіn ѕоmе kіnd оf focus.

I just kept talking, wanting my voice to dominate over the eerie sounds of the winds blowing against the trees. Wiping my face with the back of my hand, a low light shimmered brightly against my eyes, almost blinding me. Shielding my eyes, I moved away a little and tried to blink multiple times to adjust to the bright light it shone with. Blinking I tried to get rid of the tears that soaked my sensitive eyes, and the blurriness that invaded my vision.

ALTHEA My eyelids feel like stone. Heavy. Aching. Every time I try to lift them, they drop back down. But then, finally, I manage. Light floods in, too bright and too white. I wince, blinking fast, my dry eyes adjusting slowly to the glow. Everything is clean. Too clean. Pristine white walls. Pale curtains fluttering slightly from the breeze coming through a half-open window. The sharp smell of disinfectant tickles my nose.
