Seriously awesome, bitter-sweet story.
Going blind has gotta be pretty intense... aside from just walking into things, one's sense orientation is a good deal reliant upon the eyes. This story does a pretty good job of showing what happens as one has to adapt to a new set of unexpected circumstances.
The tone feels somewhat reminiscent of a 1980s children's cartoon that doesn't pull any punches. It deals with loss and emotion directly, but is very gentle and optimistic in how it handles those themes. It also deals with pain and isolation directly, but manages to balance everything out with a sense of whimsy. It doesn't seem like a vent story, rather an idea that could be used to share with others.
As Yosh is suffering through his condition I feel the writing gets a little telly vs showy in a couple spots, but it's pretty minor. Everything moves a long at a good pace and the story has good atmosphere.
I rather like the part with Snowdrop. She's very innocent and has a way of showing, in this story, how one can adapt to their situation even if it seems hopeless. Part of it is holding on to a sense that one can overcome a disability, and I feel her part might've been a metaphor for perspective. “And you’ll always see so long as you believe that you can.”
I've read blind people use things like memory, sound, smell, temperature, the way the air moves, and tactile stimulus to figure out where everything is. Mr. Rogers, in part, covered this a long time ago with a blind jazz musician.
Very much enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!
