The author’s new sight

I lie on the table, letting the anesthesia sing me to sleep. I dream of robots removing the dense, clouded lenses from my eyes. Awake, the new lenses see story arcs that make sense, first lines that readers love, publisher contracts to sign.

“Yes, doctor, the surgery is a success.”
