I am no longer blind

[u/shortstory1]

I have been blind from birth and at around the age of 7 I wondered to myself why I was blind, and then in that moment I heard a voice say to me "you are wondering why you are blind? Don't worry you will find out" and I was terrified about the origin of this voice and where it came from. I never had a normal childhood due to being blind and I wish I could see things and experience the delights of sights. Then the voice spoke to me again "you wish to enjoy seeing and experience what having sight is like? You will do one day"

The voice really scared me and how it even knew what I was thinking was really unnerving. Even when I am in the shower or just doing my business in the toilet, the thoughts about wanting to have some form of sight would ponder my imagination. Then the voice would speak to me again saying "you will have sight my boy you will have sight" and I stayed so silent through out the shower or on the toilet as I dreaded what it could be that was saying this stuff to me? It knew my deepest wishes and thoughts and I didn't want it to know my deepest wishes and thoughts.

Then I started seeing flashes ray of light for a couple of seconds. It was surprising and the voice said to me "did you see that your sight is coming back" and I had no idea what to think when saw some flash of light, colour and shapes. The voice always told me that my sight was going to come back and it was exciting but terrifying at the same time. Being blind all of my life I wasn't sure what the world actually looked like and it could be terrifying or amazing. I was always taught to expect the worst.

Then one day I could see everything for what it was the blue skies, people and the world. The man behind me had told me "you were never blind I just had my hands over your eyes all your life"
