[ TT ] You did n't realize just how blind you were until you went in and got prescription glasses ... Now you can see the leaves in the trees , the pebbles on the ground , and that your dog is actually a tiny dragon .

Two weeks. It took two whole weeks for them to finish my prescription. I was beginning to regret not getting the lasik instead but the expense was too much. 
 
 Still, how could I be anything but delighted when they finally arrived? My vision was spectacular. I could make out the tiniest subtleties in the Ents and their wild leaves, absorbing the sunlight. It was as if I could see grass growing. The all-seeing woman had done it this time. Even the pebbles beneath my feet were visibly rolling with time. Amazing. 
 
 I headed home down the cobbestone road and marveled at the tiniest things. How had I lived this long without seeing the snakes in the grass? Too long. 
 
 When I reached my modest cottage my world began to spin - well not literally. As magical as my spectacles were, I still could n't see that. But I could see that my thatched roof was on fire. 
 
 Terrified, I ran inside to save my beloved dog. He was all I had in the world and I would perish before I lost my dearest friend. Just as I entered I saw the fire burning out to embers on my roof. Only a part of it had been ignited and it burnt out so quickly. Perhaps I had a chance in hell of keeping my house afterall. I could live with a new skylight. 
 
 Yet where was Soot? He usually was at the door waiting. It took far too long for my new glasses to clue me in as to what happened when I noticed it. 
 
 The sinuous, black-scaled dragonkinde on my bed leaving nothing to the imagination. She was in truth, more humanoid than dragon but no taller than my chest. Yet still dangerous, very dangerous. 
 
 `` I am sorry, dear one. I sneezed.'' I blinked. SHE sounded just like my talking dog, only with scales and wings..and breasts. 
 
 `` Where have you been all my life?!'' I exclaimed, walking to the bed in confusion. `` And where's Soot?'' I was only partially upset, for I had a mostly naked woman in my bed and I was n't about to toss her out. 
 
 `` It's me! Do n't you remember? We played fetch just this morning!'' I stood gaping, still confused that my male dog had become feminine, not to mention a dragonkinde. 
 
 While I never did figure out the specifics, the gypsy woman yelled a lot of nonsense when I stole my new glasses earlier in the morning and I never quite could look Soot in the eyes after that, knowing I violated her trust with peanut butter that one time...
