ABSTRACT
The bluer the eyes, the more successful the programming. That's what they tell us anyway. The Dreamers’ eyes are brown, amber, green, gray, or hazel. My eyes and the eyes of all the Endarkened are different shades of blue, some as piercing as the color of LED lights and others as bright as the sky on a sunny day. I sometimes wonder if the brightness of our eyes is what stops us from dreaming. Darkness is the space of dreams; it's the place where imagination can grow; it serves as the backdrop for the magical. But I think the piercing blueness of my eyes punctures the darkness, keeps the darkness at bay. I long for the days when I'll be able to close my eyes and see blackness. But to dream is to imagine something better, to envision a reality that's different from this one. That's why we're not allowed to dream. The Dreamers haven't allowed us to do that for a long time.
