Excerpt: Frogeye

I felt like this now. I closed my eyes and transported myself to a world without sight. I heard the cars and trucks blur by on a distant highway, and a few revs of a motorcycle engine. I heard the trees rustle as the strong winds bullied them. I heard metal clang together, somewhere far off, though to this day I have no idea what that clanging metal was for. I felt the crunching of dry autumn leaves under my worn-down sneakers and the crushing of rubber and gravel rubbing together, the friction leaving a slight tingling feeling in my feet when I brushed off my steps. Then I finished off all my poetic verses by not watching where I was going and tripping over a weird crack in the sidewalk.
