9. That one instance never happened to me again.

It was all of these vivid. sharp, colorful geometric shapes hurling at me through space. Then, a movie screen appeared, with my nephew in the center of the movie screen. It was so detailed, that I could see a stain on his leather jacket.

So strange.

I'm glad that you will not have to get the needle today.

Listen, I also know a little about eye infections. They won't give you a needle, so please don't worry. For eye infections such as yours, they typically use a DeWalt drill, with a one inch spade bit attached. They drill through your eye, all the way through the back of your head, so the infection can safely drain out through the exit hole.

So please try not to worry.
