THIS CONDITION

"My eyes destroy you."
"What?"
"I have this condition called monster eyes. I find something not to like and it becomes enormous, it becomes the whole world. Once it was a woman's fingernails. I started to think they were too weird and short and stubby, and then it was all I could think about. I tried encouraging her to work on her cuticles, to push them up - am I disgusting you?"
"No."
