Once day the time had come when the father had had too much, he ordered all of the children to leave the house in hopes that they may bond with each other. In theory it sounded like a good idea, but as soon as they were allowed to leave the boys ran away with each other leaving the blind girl behind. The nights were cold and harsh and the days were unbearably hot. The girl became curious of what had become of her brothers and often prayed for their safety. One night a star exploded and out of the star came what can only be explained as its offspring. The star grew larger and larger, until it was apparent that it was not changing in size but rather it’ proximity to Earth. Frightened, the girl closed her eyes once more and began to pray. She prayed for her father and her brothers and not once did she mention herself. When she opened her eyes the most handsome of men had come out of the star and told her that due to her unselfishness, she would be granted two wishes.

The girl thought hard and long and finally came up with two wishes that she thought would suite her. The first was a pair of eyes, not to see the present but to see the past and future. With a twitch of the fairy’s eye the left eye was able to see the past and the right eye was able to see the future. "What is your second wish?" asked the fairy. The girl asked for a knife that would inflict no pain, yet deliver intricate results. And with a sway of the hand such a knife had appeared. The girl blessed the fairy and continued and made her way towards a market.

When the girl found herself in a downtown local market she quickly became intoxicated with all of the opportunity for one to do. When a slick hustler came across her path and asked her if she would try her luck at a memorization game, she eagerly agreed. The man said there were numbers in a hat from one to 20 and every number stood for the amount of numbers the girl would have to memorize. It sounded easy enough so the girl took her chances. She had no money so to start off with she offered her knife. "Wow!" said the hustler. "Such a knife is worth 23 keplos" (keplos were the standard currency). With the arrangement made, the girl took her chances and pulled a number from the hat. The number was five. She masterfully repeated the five number, "Two, seven, thirteen, eighty-two, and forty-seven." With keplos in her pocket she tried her luck once more, this time the hustler had a smirk on his face. She reached her hand in and pulled out a number. "Whoa! 20…what are the chances of that!" The girl listened intensively to what the numbers. Were when the sleazy man was finished her opened her eye of the past and saw hi say the umbers over and over, until the girl started speaking, "Seventy-three, fifty-four, eight…." She repeated all of the numbers with such assurance that the man questioned her and said she was recording him somehow. As the girl walked away. She opened her eye of the future and saw the ma cornering her off in a pitch black alley with many other men and cutting her in the throat. The girl was not afraid; in fact she went to the alley and approached the men. She made idle conversation as if not to suspect anything, and then in the middle of a word cut the each and every man in the throat, and left them there to die a painless yet slow death.

As time passed the girl began to wonder about her brothers and often looked deep into the future to see if she would ever meet them. Every time she looked she got the same vision, the girl stabbing herself in her eyes. Confused, the girl eventually stopped looking into the future and tried to listen to the present, and then one day it had become apparent. Because of he imbalance of her sight and her hearing, the girl had become partially deaf. She could no longer make out what other people were saying and often had to replay the scene in her eyes.

One day the girl had a brilliant idea, she would return home and surprise her father with the marvelous gifts the fairy had given her. She wondered for days on end trying to get back home, the only thing fueling her was her ability to see in the past and see her father steaming vegetables. One day she found the house that she had been raised in. When she opened the door she did not smell the steam of her fathers cooking, nor did she feel the same warmth that usually masked the house. Instead there was an eerie feeling, as if an unwanted presence had been allowed to board. The girl ran up stairs and it was there that she saw her father lying half-dead on a floor. She asked what had happened, but the only thing she could hear was the phrase: "Brother….dead." Though the girl’s father often beat his boys, the girl would often her him boast of their strength and how the boys’ were so much like their father. It was as if the father had lived his life through his boys. The girl tried hard to find out what happened to the boys but every time she liked into the past all she could see was pitch black. The all of a sudden, as if an epiphany had been reached, she realized that the pitch black. Then all of a sudden, as if an epiphany had been reached, she realized that the pitch black was the alley where she killed the sleazy-hustler and his henchmen. And so it became apparent….she had murdered her brothers. At this very moment the girl took out her knife, and as seen in her vision, cut herself in the eyes and died next to her father.
