Jennifer always looked at him with that glance, and he hated it. It would make his food taste bland and paste-like. Her glance peeled him like an orange, revealing the bruised and ugly fruit underneath. He didn't know about the power of vision until that disgusting, disgust_ed_ look speared him on the end of a stick and tossed him out. He was good at hiding before she came, before those mirrored eyes taught him to see. 2008-06-30T21:59:08Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/35673 <p>i agree with amaster.<br />amazing stuff, and the last line was fantastic. :)<br />greattttttt job.<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/35673?basename=75059 2008-06-30T21:59:08Z invisibility_disability http://ficlets.com/authors/invisible_stories <p>As always, some good stuff from Stovohobo.

I think I actually have one of <em>those</em> looks stored away in my basket of tricks. But, in defense of Jennifers everywhere, we don&#8217;t really <em>mean</em> to do it&#8230;.. ;D Double stars for this one. (Of course, use of the name <em>always</em> helps.)</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/35673?basename=74699 2008-06-28T21:32:10Z Jenunique http://ficlets.com/authors/jenunique <p>It might be &#8220;microfiction,&#8221; but this short piece has so much depth to it. The imagery is fantastic.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/35673?basename=74607 2008-06-28T14:18:31Z Ana Cristina http://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78 <p>Wow Stovo, you really have a talent. &#8220;peeled him like an orange, revealing the bruised and ugly fruit underneath&#8221;</p> <p>That juxtaposition of sweet, sunny orange actually being bruised fruit works exceptionally well.</p> <p>Lovely, poetic stuff &#8211; and packed into such a small volume, too!</p> <p>LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/35673?basename=74597 2008-06-28T09:56:05Z Ridcully Calvert http://ficlets.com/authors/user_joon <p>Brilliant, you know I love ficlets that highlight the eyes.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/35673?basename=74542 2008-06-28T03:43:41Z Laine the Grey http://ficlets.com/authors/lainegrey <p>I know a pair of eyes like hers.
