The narrator cannot handle the old man’s eye because it only reminds him of his illness—even if he does not…

Saturday morning. An early Colorado sunrise comes in through the window, waking me. I get up and put on my sweatpants, warm from just getting out of the dryer. I bring a duffel bag downstairs, and drop it in the front room. I shuffle into the dimly lit kitchen, and grab a bagel. I put it in the toaster, then spread some honey nut cream cheese on it.
