Cat's Eye

chuckle in the hallway. Her heart pulsed rapidly in her chest. The flickering light dimmed. She didn’t know if it was just her mind playing tricks or if it was real. She flung herself back onto her bed and she pulled the covers over half her face. Her eyes glanced to…

Cataracts occur when the lens becomes blurry, causing vision to be hazy and distorted. The lens is between the lens and pupil and refracts light that comes into the eye, which helps us to see and focus on objects. Those who experience cataracts, feel like they are looking through a foggy window. There are four main types of cataracts, traumatic cataracts, congenital cataracts, secondary cataracts, and radiation cataracts. Traumatic cataracts can occur from ocular injury, which will disrupts lens…

Opened Doors I vividly recall glancing at the closed, sliding doors of our convenience store; my glass-paned cage. Goosebumps rose on my skin as I sensed my father’s presence. I turned away from the cash register. “Dad, I think I’ve hit a wall,” I said. “I’m not successful here.” With an invigorated sense of optimism, I left with what I learned at my father’s convenience store and sought out my future. I was so enthusiastic! I finally had an opportunity to open doors for myself. But I was also…

around her are sent a shiver down her spine. Swinging her legs to the left side of the bed beneath her, she stands, only to fall back down as the memories that happened not long before flooded into her mind. Her eyes started to burn as her vision went blurry from the tears forming within her eyes. She remembered the blood splattered on the walls, as well as the lifeless bodies belonging to her beloved parents on pools of what she came to realize was of their own blood. Athena couldn't help but…

Journal Entry 1 I personally have myopia. I am negative 3.75 on each eye and wear eye contacts everyday. There are many things that are annoying about being myopic: wearing contacts, not being able to see without them, feeling blind without them, making sure you always have an extra pair of contacts on you in case you lose one. One of the more frustrating aspects of being myopic is whenever you are not wearing your contacts or glasses and you run into someone you know – and you have no idea who…

mind. While the cognitive theory emphasizes mental processes involved in numerous actions, such as remembering, solving problems, and thinking. In short, the eye takes in light rays and converts them into electrical and chemical signals that are interpreted by the brain to form physical images. This process requires communication between the eye, a sensory organ, and brain, the core of the central nervous system. Electromagnetic rays, in the form of light, must pass through the cornea, which…

"C-7625, can you hear me?" The blackness vanished as I opened my eyes. My scanners immediately survey the warehouse I'm in and my system starts. Progress bars load and data are shown in my central CPU. Big blue and black robotic arms are moving about, adding plates and connecting wires on me. I stand on a cold, smooth, and metallic cylinder raised a few feet off the dark-gray ground while the robotic arms rotate around the cylinder. I look around the warehouse, painted dark-blue with…

I sat appalled, not daring to drop my gaze. His eyes were dark similar to mine when I would become enraged. Deep and hollow, no life in them. After all those years singing to a mirror or my shower head, those harmonic tunes...the owner of the song was just meters in front of me. The frigid water would cascade down my back to the point I knew it was time to leave the shower. I knew I was a terrible singer, just ask my pet goldfish - which died. I shuddered at the remembrance of the funeral I…

Everything about the moment screams: Yes! Do it! Grab the guy, kiss him! I close my eyes, letting a shot of cognac burn on the way down. One benefit of hanging out with older men–no one cards you. Sitting on a barstool next to Mr. Sexy Pants, at least that’s what all the secretaries call him; I move his hand to my thigh. His thumb strokes the exposed inner skin. Goosebumps. I’m wearing a navy/tan block blazer with a matching, short tailored skirt. His fingers reach up between the fabric and my…
