Wow, that was seriously creepy. The eye idea is really cool, though the thought of them being taken from living people is... *shudder*. I loved the woman telling the story, even though we don't know much about her - she seemed very real.

Thanks a lot - my biggest worry (well, apart from the narrator coming across as a Mary Sue or the entire plot just failing) was that the narrator wouldn't seem to be her own person. Because she is, and I don't like her at all, but there you go.

Anyway, thank you!

This was awesome! One of my favorite in the fest so far. I loved the strange creepy new world and the OC was compelling without taking over the story. I wonder, though, about the coincidence about Rodney looking for an eye and just ending up with John's. Do you think he was looking for John's eye because he suspected something already and wanted to give John his memories back? The outsider POV makes it difficult to tell. Great addition to our team. Bravo!

I don't think Rodney knew what had happened - he honestly thought John had broken up with him. It was all just one biiiiig koffconvenientkoff coincidence that the one eye he ever bought turned out to be John's. Though it would have ended up with him sooner or later.

Thank you for your comment! :D
