BLIND YOU KNOW, I NEVER ONCE THOUGHT ABOUT BEING BLIND.     THE IDEA HAD NEVER OCCURRED TO ME. ONE DAY, I HEARD ABOUT SIGHT.   IT SOUNDED LIKE A WONDERFUL THING. IT WAS THEN THAT THE REALITY OF BLINDNESS GRIPPED MY SOUL.   THOSE WHO SPOKE OF SIGHT TOLD OF THINGS I'D NEVER IMAGINED. MY HEART DESIRED TO OWN THIS THING CALLED SIGHT.

LATER, AS I WALKED IN DARKNESS, I COULD SENSE TWO THINGS IN THE FAR DISTANCE ... ONE: A TERRI- BLE STENCH COMBINED WITH A FLAME ...   THE OTHER: A VOICE CALLING LOUDLY, SAYING WORDS NOT YET UNDER- STOOD. I STOPPED. I WAS FEARFUL OF THE FLAMING STENCH, BUT I WAS DRAWN TO IT.     I DESIRED TO HEAR THE WORDS.   I WAS HINDERED. THE VOICE GREW LOUDER. I BEGAN TO BACK AWAY.   THE VOICE BECAME ANXIOUS, WARN- ING ME. I STOPPED AGAIN.   THE VOICE TOLD OF SIGHT! I BEGAN TO LISTEN.

A CLAMOUR AROSE AT ONCE! CONFUSION CAME AT ME FROM EVERY DIRECTION!! THE SOUND OF THE VOICE BEGAN TO FADE. I STARTED TO WEEP. THE STENCH WAS STRONGER NOW; THE FLAMES NEARER. FEAR OF THE FIRE OVERCAME ME!   THE VOICE STILL CRIED OUT. HOW I DE- SIRED TO DRAW NEARER.   THE CONFU- SION CAME AT ME AGAIN! THE VOICE WAS QUIET NOW ... I FOUGHT BACK DESPER- ATELY!
