Open Up My Eyes In Wonder Novels & Stories

Why were her eyes so wide open? ***

“Now, little mortal, have you tried it yet?” “What? No!-” “-close your eyes,” he ordered, about to poke my eyes out. I shut them reflexively, and he dabbed the liquid onto my lids. “There,” he said, satisfied. I blinked back tears as my vision refocused. The night beyond my car burst into color, everything that had once been darkness was now muted colors, like the world seen through tinted glass. Will-'o-the-wisps darted through the night, and a single ghost glided across the sky. I shivered.

Awe, wonder and a strange, unspoken anticipation filled her as she lay there, eyes closed with that image behind the lids. Everett, Her Everett.

My eyelids felt like they were made of stardust and decisions. "Mommy's waking up!" Violet's excited voice came from somewhere nearby. "Her colors are getting brighter!" Colors? What colors? I finally managed to crack my eyes open, immediately regretting it as reality assaulted my enhanced senses. The world wasn't just visible anymore – it was *readable*. I could see the story of every atom, the history of every particle of light. The room looked like someone had taken normal reality and layered it with cosmic sticky notes. "Take it slow," Mom's steady voice guided me. "Your perception has... expanded considerably."

Trusting him completely, I stepped forward in sync with him, allowing him to guide me deeper into the unknown, my anticipation growing with every step we took together. I shut my eyes as tightly as I could, determined to keep them closed so the surprise would remain completely intact. “There... Stop right there, Lila.” I immediately halted, obeying his instruction without hesitation. “And… you can open your eyes now…” At that moment, the tight pressure holding my eyelids shut finally eased. I drew in a slow, careful breath, my lashes fluttering as I lingered for a second, dragging out the suspense before I gradually lifted my eyelids, opening my eyes little by little to whatever awaited befo

The miracle of sight dawned upon him, illuminating the darkness and offering a tantalizing glimpse of the world that had long eluded him. The overwhelming rush of emotions threatened to engulf Jace as he tentatively opened his eyes, the world painting itself in vibrant hues and awe-inspiring detail. "I... I can see," he whispered, his voice wrought with uncontainable wonder. Gabriel stood beside him, his eyes shining with unbridled joy. "You did it, Jace. You're seeing the world again."

And the panic in my veins dulled, it was like waves retreating from the shore. “Now,” she whispered, her voice low, almost solemn. “Open your eyes.” I obeyed. The room was the same… and yet not. My vision pulsed, and I realized with a fright that my eyes were glowing. I could feel the warmth radiating outward. That was when I saw her.

And why was it waiting for me? As I stood there, frozen in wonder, the pages of the book stopped turning, and a single page lay open before me. I looked down, and what I saw took my breath away. As I gazed down at the open page, I saw that it was filled with strange symbols and markings. They seemed to dance across the page, shimmering with a soft, ethereal light. I felt a surge of wonder and curiosity. What did these symbols mean? And what secrets did they hold?

My eyes widened as the sight became clearer. Only one word left my lips, filled with awe and unravelling admiration. “Wow.”

"The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The sparkle in your eyes fascinates me. They are hazel. The way your eyes grow big when you don't do anything wrong and be innocent. That's what differentiates you from others. They are beautiful. Your eyes have the power of showing the reflection of the world. I... I feel your eyes are the purest things in this world. They just can't lie. They are like an open book. Anyone can read you through them and that's what makes me afraid. I want to be the only person to read your eyes. I don't want anyone to even look into your eyes.
