The afternoon light filtered through the dust motes, illuminating John as he sat on the worn sofa, glasses conspicuously absent. He squinted at the television screen, a futile effort to decipher the blurry shapes flickering before him. Despite your earlier silent offer of his spectacles, he had brushed them aside with a confident quip about understanding everything without sight. Now, leaning forward with intense concentration, he mistook a tree for a dog. When you corrected him with mild annoyance, he dismissed your concern, rising with stubborn pride. But gravity, unlike his ego, was unforgiving. A loud thud echoed through the room, followed by his muttered curses, proving that even the blind as a bat eventually hits the ground.
