He breathed in deeply, a little annoyed with me. “What we are going to try is a transplant. You see, nothing is wrong with your eyes, or the connections. If we used a donor, a live donor, we could… switch.â€?

Ridiculous. This entire idea was.. ridiculous! How could he even expect for that to work? How could anyone expect that to work?! Not for eyes. It didn’t make sense.

“And where do you expect to find someone alive who would just want to ‘switch’ eyes with me? This is stupid!â€?

“Not both eyes, just one. You see, we think that if we put on in that could see, eventually, the other would work too. It’s all very confusing, but we’ve tested it, and it worked 60% of the time.â€?

“You didn’t answer my question. Who?â€?

“A twin is the perfect donor.â€?

“Theo? You can’t be serious… no, I… no,” I stuttered.

He did say 60%. That meant that if this didn’t end up working, nothing would change, and Theo could probably end up going blind himself.

I couldn’t do that to him.
