A chapter in the book Short
Insight
by Bill Schott
Billy tried to think of all the lines that would mitigate people's reactions to his new glass eye. He had read several comic approaches including "You caught my eye." or "I'll keep my eye out for you."
These seemed blatant. Billy just wished he could feel confident when meeting people with this recent prosthetic.
Winchell, Billy's friend, stepped up and said, "Billy, you know you've got your fake eyeball in backwards?"
Without missing a beat, Billy replied, "Yes, I'm being a little introspective."
Winchell's laugh was infectious; the reluctance to meet others was gone in the blink of an eye.
