Eye contact is a big deal. It's the biggest deal. Just the thought makes me feel sick, right down to my core. I know in my rational head that eyes are not frightening. They're tiny little harmless blobs of jelly. They're, like, a minuscule fraction of our whole body area. We all have them. So why should they bother me? But I've had a lot of time to think about this, and if you ask me, most people underestimate eyes. For a start, they're powerful. They have range. You focus on someone a hundred feet away, through a whole bunch of people, and they know you're looking at them. What other bit of human anatomy can do that? It's practically being psychic, is what it is. But they're like vortexes too. They're infinite. You look someone straight in the eye and your whole soul can be sucked out in a nanosecond. That's what it feels like. Other people's eyes are limitless and that's what scares me.
