People tried to convince me to go through with all of the things doctors kept trying to fix by telling me “I can’t imagine not being able to see. It must be horrifying! To not even see colors..â€?

The thing was, I didn’t feel as if I was missing out on anything at all. Colors were just an abstract idea; there’s really no way to imagine seeing anything but the colors you can already see, now is there? It’s really the same thing for me.

Someone came into my room- no, two people. “Hello?â€? I asked.

“Hi,â€? they both said in unison.

Their voices were both exactly the same, and I assumed they were girls, probably only eight or nine. They stepped up closer to my bed.

“Anything you want?â€? I asked.

“We’re just bored,â€? one of them replied. “What’s your name?â€?

“Regan. What about yours? And your friends?â€?

“I’m Julia,â€? one of them said, followed by, “I’m Lucy.â€?
