I can see a creature. It's feet are cold, very, very cold. Meticulously cold. The rest of it's fine. But it can't go anywhere. I'm not sure how i know all this, just from looking at it. Maybe it's the way the sun is blazing down on it, but it's shivering. Actually shaking, desperately. It's hands jerk, it's face, full of strange lines that would imply it's been twitching like this for some time, but not it's feet. They are the feet of an infant.
"It's a creature, but it has hands, feet, and a face, why not call him a man?" You ask. Well, friend, because it has no eyes.
"Then he's a freak. But not inhuman, have a little charity." Okay, sorry, i over simplified it. What it has instead of eyes is what make's me call it a creature. It's heart seems to have grown over where the eyes should be. Out of the heart, which is miraculously still working, juts about a foot of slab. The edges are rounded. This slab doesn't seem to be too heavy, despite the fact that a full city sits on it, and a smaller town hangs, upside down, from beneath.
You're speechless. But is get's weirder. The constant shaking doesn't seem to affect the city. However, the town seems to be fully aware. Gravity still works like it ought to, and they're hanging on for dear life.
"All right, hold it right there," You say, "that's all fine and well. But, come on. Am i really expected to believe this? Seriously. How come i can't see any of this?"
Because you're the creature, and you don't have any eyes.
