The Blink Of An Eye Book の小説・ストーリー

Katana My eyelids slowly blinked open, and I was instantly attacked by the harsh, piercing flash of an overhead fluorescent bulb. The blinding light burned into my retinas, painting everything in a yellow tint. I trembled and pinched my eyes shut, trying to guard myself from the brightness, but it only worsened the throbbing ache in my head pounding with every beat as if a tiny construction crew was hammering away inside my skull. My senses gradually regained consciousness, and I realized I wasn't alone. The shadows of two figures lurking in the corner urged me to open my eyes.

Everything becomes vivid once the light goes on. A tall, skinny woman with a toffee complexion rushes her steps towards her. It's impossible to hide, the room is extremely empty. Charging out a gun as she approaches, her brain goes numb. This is a nightmare. Unable to distinguish what's up or down. She blinks over and over. Wake up, you will see this is not real. Her brain fails to process the gun pointed at her. Oh my, what is this? "What do you want from me?” Seated hugging her knees. “Why am I here? Who are you?.” Rose rumbles nonstop.

But Justin came to the door and he looked straight at me before he looked around the rest of the room. “Lights out.” He said, flipping the switch. So I sat there for a moment with the book in my hand but I was staring at the door. Ben was laying on his back facing the ceiling and I looked back at the book so I could mark the page where I had finished it. But something weird was happening with my eyes. When I looked down at the book in the darkened room, I could still see the words on the page. I pulled the book away from my eyes and I blinked a couple of times before I brought the book back up and I could still see the writing on the pages.

Alex I blinked, trying to bring my vision into focus. Everywhere was so blurry, and I felt so weak, I could barely use any of my limbs. It was a struggle. The more I tried to open my eyes, the more it was hard for me to keep staying conscious. But I forced myself to push through with it, and I opened my eyes, slowly, but surely, nearly blinded by the bright white light that unraveled, right in front of my eyes, nearly blinding me.

Once again, the divine beast clan ceases contact with the outside world to avoid the threats of the total extinction of the Four Divine Beast Clans. Such fate is cruel. "I guess... life sometimes is cruel," I murmured as I finished reading the book. I felt conflicted and emotional. I grabbed another book and found the title intriguing. "The Eye of the Truth," This is interesting. I began flipping the pages, and the more I read, the deeper my suspicion became. Doubts filled my mind, and something was off about the information written in this book. I suddenly felt dizzy and gripped the book hard. What happened?

Alina I blinked. Once. Twice. The light was too much. It pressed down on me, like fingers prying into my skull. My heartbeat pulsed in my ears, and I could hear things. Too many things. A rustle here. A sigh there. The ticking of a clock far away, though I wasn’t sure if it was real or imagined. Was I going mad? I shut my eyes again, breathing slowly. One breath. Two. Three. Then, I opened them carefully—slowly, like peeling back a wound that hadn't quite healed. I blinked again, trying to focus.

I had expected something else and not for it to be all that easy. “The book is right here” Augustus said and showed us the book. It looked ordinary and carried no presence to it. “Let me see it” I said and took the book from him. Immediately our hands touched the book a sudden light erupted from it, striking Augustus and me. I felt a searing pain tear my body into two and for a moment, I could watch my body lying weakly on the floor. Elana said some chants and closed the book. It took great force and the pain increased by the minute. Slowly, my eyes closed, and I was welcomed into the darkness.

“Very slowly. Don’t rush it. Just take your time.” I listen to his advice, nod, and do exactly that. I don’t rush or start blinking rapidly. I just slowly open my eyes wider. Nothing. I blink. Still nothing. Panic rises in my chest. I blink again. That’s when the darkness finally gives way to something blurry and hazy. My chest rises sharply as a shaky breath leaves my lips. Tears instantly gather in my eyes, making everything even more unclear. “I...” My voice cracks. “I...”

After my eyes were plucked out, I lay on the operating table with two empty sockets on my face, resembling that of a broken doll. Samuel Sterling felt no guilt. He picked up my eyes to examine them and praised them, saying, "Daeleen was right. These really are a beautiful pair of eyes! I promised you, Daeleen. I will make all your wishes come true." As the anesthesia's effect slowly wore off, I could not help but cry out in pain. Samuel finally turned his attention to me as if blaming me for interrupting his memories of Daeleen.

Hearing your thoughts and seeing what you can see… What's the difference? I did not reply. I merely showed her what the difference was. In front of Snowie's stunned gaze, I thrust my finger into my right eye and forcibly plucked my eyeball out. Of course, there would not be blood or gore. After all, my right eye was a prosthetic.
