Fire-and-brimstone red eyes.
Fluorescent kryptonite green eyes.
Dull eyes.
Glowing eyes.
Small beady eyes.
Menacing eyes.
Eyes in the dark.
That’s what I see when I wander (sans glasses) through the house in the midnight hours. These eyes are the light indicators on our TV, DVD player, computer, and digital converter boxes. Lights from the microwave, the clock on the stove, and various digital clocks around the house. (Without glasses for my 400/400 vision, these clocks look just as sinister as the other lights.)
Their reflection in the windows and on my spotless, high-gloss Formica countertops in the kitchen double the number of eyes in the night. (Yes indeed, I did connect the word ‘spotless’ with my countertops. Oh you little skeptical person you.)
All of these eyes light my way through the night during my meandering. Who needs a night light? Certainly not me.
I just need courage as I make sure all of these eyes are not ghoulish fiends coming to attack poor little innocent me.
