Getting into my car on Monday morning, I entered another … reality?

You see, I was opening the car door, and … to cut a long story short, I saw this creature sitting in the driver’s seat.  It had one eye.  And that eye looked at me, and spoke these words (yes, it was a mouth, too):  I see absolutely everything.

You and I know that we are always ashamed of something we’ve done, said, or been, in our lives.   I felt, um, exposed.

Outraged, I asked, “Really?  Everything?”

Yes.

Wincing, I remembered what I’d done last night — had it seen?

Even that, answered the eye.

That was too much.  Some things are private.

Quick as a flash, I punched the creature.  Before vanishing into smoke, the eye whispered triumphantly, I saw that coming, too.

I broke down, and confessed all to my wife that evening.

She took away my saw forever.
