BLINDED BEFORE STARLIGHT
PART 1
Chapter 1
"Okay, what do you want me to type, Reina?" Garret says
"I CAN SEE GALAXIES. That's all I'll ever see. I am blind. I have been most my life.I've never seen anyone, let alone my self. I don't know who I am. I don't know my favorite color, I don't know what color my hair is. I don't even know my race. All I know is my age. 11. I've never read or wrote in my life. I can't taste. I can't smell. I can barely hear. I am basically dead.
My mother has told me about Helen Keller and what an amazing person she was. I'll never be as brave as her, I mean, she was smart and she knew sign language. I tried to learn sign language, but I always ended up signing something wrong. I had a service dog, but not for long. I ended up blinding him when I ran into a boiling pot. It spilled on him, and blinded him in his left eye. Girls at school call me "Hurricane Reina". They think I can't hear. I've had hearing aid for 7 years. I can talk. But, I don't. Nobody would care what I have to say anyways. What could I saw I'd be emo sounding "I SEE DARKNESS". But however, I spoke once, to my service dog. I was friends with the service dog, I named him BFD. (Short for Big, Furry, Dog) My voice was deep, and quiet. I learned that from my grandmother.
I can't remember much from being a toddler, when I could hear, see, and taste. I could only remember one thing: The Accident.
