[ WP ] The first person with super-enhanced vision has just found out what causes us to feel things on our skin that we ca n't see .

The doctors removed the last of the bandages and the woman slowly opened her eyelids, her new eyes exposed to the world for the first time since they had been implanted. 
 
 It was a heady time for experimental surgery; perfect copies of original internal organs had been grown and successfully implanted, and limbs were soon to follow. 
 
 This, however, was a first of it's kind; the increasing of a human's capabilities above and beyond the baseline. Not just improving the resolution of the human eye's vision, but adding ultraviolet and infrared to the vision spectrum. Researchers tingled with anticipation, imagining the possibilities if the procedure was a success. 
 
 The big moment had arrived. The woman's new eyes began to come into focus, and the doctors took her through some simple vision tests, checking for any of the usual abnormalities that can affect vision. Everything seemed to check out, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. 
 
 It was at this time, as the doctors discussed what new feature they would test first now that the basics were out of the way, that the woman began to look around the room, her eyes coming to stare at a point just to the left, and behind a nurse, who kept absentmindedly scratching at her neck as she waited to be assigned a task. 
 
 Tears began to streak down the test subject's face, and her mouth fell open, a long, low, unbroken single syllabic fear noise tumbling out from it. 
 
 It was an impossibly thin and slender humanoid, like a stick figure drawing by a psychopath that had lept off the page. It wore no clothing, being adorned with tightly drawn skin in a color that was indescribable with human language. It's long, oblong head was the widest part of it's body, with small, black, bead like lidless eyes, no nose, and a cruely shaped mouth with thin, tight, darker shaded lips. 
 
 It's wispy fingers gently brushed against the neck of the nurse, moving them away when the nurse's hand came up to scratch at the spot like seaweed drifting in the tide, placing them back once the hand came away, in a slow, weird dance. 
 
 As it's fingers came away from the lady's neck, something came away with it that glowed with a gentle light, and each time that it did, the color of the nurse faded imperceptibly each time. 
 
 The creature then noticed the woman staring at it, and it smiled, an obscene sneer of pleasure at having been discovered. The noise the woman had been making ramped up to full blown screaming, and she began to claw at her eyes. At this cue, the creature took it's leave, slowly ambling out the open door of the room. 
 
 The researchers would later shake their heads at their apparent failure to select a suitably mentally strong candidate. Such a shame, they said, a complete mental breakdown, and the damage she caused to the eyes meant for a total loss. They would simply have to start again from scratch.
