From the young woman's perspective
The alarm clock sounds the same time as every other day, as I crack open my eyes. Life in the mornings is nothing but a colorful blur, until I put them on. I carefully find my way through the blurry white spots and reach for the case, as I shut off my alarm and sit up to put them on. My glasses, as I lift them to my straining eyes the world slowly begins to fade from blotchy nothingness into full HD vision. Beautiful sight that is only possible with my glasses, without them the world is nothing but one big color wheel of blotchy messes. As they rest on my ears, my frame sit perfectly in the nook of my ears and slide over my eyes at the perfect level. The glass has a couple small dings and scratches but nothing bad enough to bother my eyes. As I begin my decent down the stairs, I can see every freshly polished, milky brown, wooden step. Thanks to my glasses ofcorse, everything I see is clear as day. As I take my seat at the kitchen table, I poor myself a bowl of cereal and milk. We smile, I see through my glasses the soft silky milk fall into the cowl of crispy cereal. The shimmer from the sunlight reflecting off the small white bowl. As I glance down a bit further down I can see the sweet sugary coating on my cereal, with a smile I take a bite. As most people do I lean over my bowl while savoring every bite of cereal, good for me and but so much for my glasses. As they look down with me I feel them slide down the bridge of my noes and I slightly panic. I normally just push them back on my face but I didn't have time, I was already running late for class and didn't want to skip breakfast. I'm almost finished with my cereal, and it happens. My glasses fully slide off of my face and straight into the bowl still filled with milk. Panic, as my glasses disappear into the milk my vision begins to fade and the world slowly turns back into nothing but a blur...
Thankfully my mother was in the room and saw what happened. She ran over and grabbed my glasses, cleaning them and putting them back on my face. I decided to run and catch the bus, today was goanna be a long day.
