[ 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 .

As I rummaged through my keys, I stood in awe as I eyed all the individual grooves and texture of the metal. I spent the last half hour marveling at the world around me, thoroughly amazed by the incredible world I could never see in front of me. Turning the lock of deadbolt, I could hear Sparky, my canine companion on the other side of the door whining for me. I immediately imagined how I might finally be able to see every hair on his body as he shakes his body. Without a moment of hesitation, I threw open the door to reveal a 100 pound scaled creature experiencing what seemed to be the best day in its life. 
 
 With all the bravery and wit I usually save for the ladies, I heroically threw myself backwards and avoided the beast like the devil. Its shiny blue scales glittered in the lights as it saw my strategic retreat as a game. I darted to the other side on the apartment, and I could ’ ve sworn its tiny wings perched let it glide to my position. Trapped in a corner of the kitchen, it celebrated its victory by aggressively nuzzling its snout, giving off fumes of smoke, under my hand. To my astonishment, it felt just like Sparky. Inspecting the creature more closely, I noticed its spiked tail wagging with the same lack of spatial awareness as my dog and its same affinity for butt scratches. 
 
 “ Sp…Sparky? ” I asked. He responded and stared me down with same gaze my dog did whenever I called his name. I responded with a scratch behind the ear, trying to imagine why my dog suddenly turned into a dragon. Perhaps an ex-girlfriend finally dabbled in the black arts for revenge. Maybe Sparky achieved complete awareness of the universe and willed himself into a flying reptile. Perchance Sparky ran away with a sexy girl dragon and this is just their son. 
 
 Nah, I decided. Must be the new glasses.
