my eyes。

Black  fell  into  a  panic;  as  if  they  were  taking  the  plume  needle  from  his

hand; as if we’d taken sides against him。 There was another scuffle。 All I could

do was tilt my head upward to escape the struggle over the needle; which was

happening perilously close to my eyes。

Everything  occurred  so  fast  that  I  couldn’t  make  out  what  happened  at

first。 I felt a sharp but limited pain in my right eye; a passing numbness seized

my  forehead。  Then  everything  was  as  it  had  been;  yet  a  horror  had  already

taken  root  within  me。  The  oil  lamp  had  been  withdrawn;  but  I  could  still

clearly see the figure before me decisively thrust the needle; this time into my

left eye。 He’d taken the needle from Black only moments before; and was more

careful  and  meticulous  now。  When  I  understood  that  the  needle  effortlessly

perated my eye; I lay dead still; though I felt the same burning sensation。

The  numbness  in  my  forehead  seemed  to  spread  over  my  entire  head;  but

ceased  when  the  needle  was  removed。  They  were  looking  at  the  needle  and

then at my eyes in turn。 It was as if they weren’t certain what had transpired。

When  everybody  fully  understood  the  misfortune  that  had  befallen  me;  the

motion stopped and the weight upon my arms eased。

I began to scream; nearly howling。 Not from the pain; but from the terror

of prehending fully what had been done to me。

At first; I sensed that my wailing put not only me at ease; but them as well。

My voice brought us together。

Even so; as my screaming persisted; their nervousness increased。 I could no

longer feel any pain。 All I could think was that my eyes had been pierced with a

needle。

I was not yet blind。 Thank goodness I could still see them watching me in

terror  and  sorrow;  I  could  still  see  their  shadows  moving  aimlessly  on  the

ceiling  of  the  lodge。  This  at  once  pleased  and  alarmed  me。  “Unhand  me;”  I

screamed。 “Unhand me so I can see everything once more; I implore you。”

“Quickly; tell us;” said Black。 “How did you meet up with Elegant Effendi

that night? Then we’ll unhand you。”

“I was returning home from the coffeehouse。 Poor Elegant Effendi accosted

me。 He was frenzied and very agitated。 I pitied him at first。 But leave me be

now and I shall later recount it all。 My eyes are fading。”

“They won’t fade right away;” said Black with determination。 “Believe me;

Master Osman could still identify the horses with cut…open nostrils after his

eyes had been pierced。”

“Hapless Elegant Effendi said he wanted to talk to me and that I was the

only person he could trust。”
