Blind

After finishing all the stories, I have to say that the story Blind has probably (definitely) hit me the hardest. (Slight spoilers ahead!!!)

I don’t really know why it had such an affect on me. It may be because I felt so bad for the blind man and his confusion. I think the dialogue between the nurse and the man at the end, where he is scared of being abandoned and she has to lie that she didn’t forget about him, hurts to read. Especially due to the fact that I, as the reader, also forgot about him for a split second while going through the story. So, in the end, I felt the same emotions of sadness and guilt as the nurse. Overall, I felt most moved by these two together, for whatever reason I can’t fully decipher yet.
