Three Things: The Eye Edition
Happy January greetings to you, dear writers! This week, as we bundle ourselves away from the cold, let’s pull out our pens and write some lines of an ocular nature. That’s right: the ol’ eyeball. Or, you know, if you want to get all romantic about it, you could write about a mysterious glance or an all-powerful stare. I personally might just stick with the organ itself (I found some disembodied ones to get us started). Enjoy!
