Midnight Pub

1.6 eyed or so

The door opens, letting in a gust of fresh or rather cold air and a man. Someone had coined the phrase "a dude turning sixty and wondering if this is it, or not" for him. It created a few chuckles at the time. The man walks up to the bar, where ~bartender is busy about something.

> Howdy, ~bartender! Guess, what! I can see you again!

The man smiles, takes off his glasses to clean them with a napkin.

> Hot chocolate with spices?

~bartender inquires. The man nods and smiles. And while preparing hot milk ~bartender remembers the encounter a while back.

> Did you get rid of the fog in your eyes?

The man smiles even more, puts his glasses back in his face.

> Almost. I'm at 0.8 or better on both eyes, and I can confirm from experience now, that this is so much better than only 0.3 on one and 0 on the other side. Unbelievably better! The world look so much better now.

And while ~bartender is preparing the Hot Chocolate, the man adds a jug of water to the list. And a serving of "churros".

> Oh, fresh churros, well, I have missed them. But lately they are offered near my home as well. I don't have to travel afar for those.

The man walks over to the table at his favorite window, where he is eagerly awaited by Smudge. He takes a seat, pulls his notebook from the backpack and starts it up. ~bartender serves drinks and churros, and Smudge changes places to the mans lap, purring away. Life is good.

I remwmber the first time I wore glasses. I was 28, and it literally blew my mind how much I could see.

I watch birds soar over my head everyday now.
