Eye

of vision at which perception can become impaired. Cortical (or cerebral) visual impairment (CVI) refers to any impairment or loss of vision brought about by damage to the brain or the central nervous system, rather than physical problems with the eye itself (ocular impairment); therefore, children and other individuals with CVI do not appear to have any cause for visual impairment when examined physically (Palmer, 2003). Historically, CVI has also been referred to…

Jorgan sighed and started unbuttoning his own jacket. Eventually they stood there, her in a halter bra and underwear, him in his shorts. It was awkward and he did his best to keep his eyes straight until he noticed she was staring at him, head tilted to the side. “What?” She reached out and he shied away, “That is an interesting scar” This time she grabbed his bicep and turned him slowly. The scar she was talking about started near his lower spine and wrapped around almost to his navel. “What…

emotion was born. The narrator believes that he “loved the old man.” There was no evident reason for him to hate him, and yet the feeling of hatred burns in him, every time he sees the pale blue eyes of the old man, which makes his “blood run cold.” This was when he decided to “rid himself of the eye forever.” He then went about…

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…

realizing stuff!” Dragon Kylie rambled. “Not so fast! I saved you from Princess Hermione because I wanted to be the one to make you suffer! So I am taking you to the Forbidden Forest and holding you hostage,” Castiel said with an evil look in her eyes as she began grabbing Dragon Kylie’s scaly…

"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…

From afar, I could tell that the house was dark and empty. Upon approaching it, I could see boarded up windows and broken pieces of glass scattered on the patio. I felt as if my blood stood still for a moment, everything was quiet except for the sound of my racing heart beat as I turned the knob and let myself in. Cold. Dark. Haunted. The feelings the room gave off were uncanny and eerie. Old victorian styled wallpaper was shedding off the wall, the floors creaking softly and then loudly,…

By the time they reached the Knight Tower, Raef could at least get his arm above his head without wincing. All told, he felt in pretty good shape. Despite being knocked unconscious, kicked in the leg, and being dragged down stairs, he didn’t have any cuts and nothing felt broken. The two knights didn’t speak to Raef again, which was fine by him. They answered questions with monosyllabic answers and told everyone who questioned them that it was “Guildmaster Saxe’s orders.” No one objected after…

Humans have been able to live on Earth together for thousands of years, surviving, procreating and evolving into what and who we are today. Still in recent years, the society that humans have created has made us grow apart (Shadyac). The thing is though that humans have something already in us in order to create a more connected and better society. That thing is the human aura or the human energy field. This sort of feature that is inside of humans could lead to a better world for all of us and…
