I woke up with a gasp, looking around the room. I gaped at the familiar purple walls of my bedroom.
It's been 2 years since The Great Blinding. Ever since that day everyone was blind, even the newborns.
I looked at the walls of my room, seeing something scribbled onto the wall. 'DONT TELL ANYONE YOU CAN SEE."
I gently grazed my hand again the words.
"We cant let them know what's happening! It's getting out of hand!" A man wearing a white doctors coat shouted.
"We don't have a choice, doctor! There is no way to hide this from the world!" A woman shouted back. The doctor sat down, sighing.
"There is one way."
I gasped and slipped off my bed. I groaned, standing up. I went to the bathroom, looking in the mirror.
God, I look awful.
I quickly showered, brushing and cutting my hair. I put on some plain jeans and a white T-shirt. I slipped on a baseball cap before leaving my room. The sun hasn't risen yet, so I carefully moved through the house. There wasn't many things in the house, since everyone was blind. My house looked the same as I remembered. I grabbed my bag, digging around in it.
I gasped as I bumped into someone.
"Oh! Who is awake at this time?" My mother asked. Tears pricked my eyes as I looked over her.
"I-its just me, mom." I said, slipping past her.
"Oh, good morning, dear." She said, continuing her walk down the hallway. I let out a shaky breath, slipping my shoes on before stubbling out the door. The sun was now starting to rise, peaking from behind houses. I gasped, looking around the neighborhood. Trash littered the floor, the houses, run down and dirty, cars covered in thick layers of dust.
I watched as someone else stumbled out of their house, panic clear on their face. He nearly collapsed, looking around the neighborhood before locking eyes with me. I quickly made my way over to him, yelping as he collapsed into my arms.
"W-whats going on?! Why- why can I see and no one else can?!" He asked, gripping my arms.
"I don't know." I said, shoving him off me. "Panicking isn't going to help. Calm down."
He nodded and took deep breaths, soon calming.
"There was an address. U-um, 2768, Jeffersons street."
"Alright, let's go."
