The Sunrise

"You've heard of the fear of darkness, but have you ever heard of the fear of light?"
Every day.
Every day I would go outside at an early time and watch the sunrise. I always used to be a fearful child, afraid of the darkness and whatnot, just like a normal child. Every child used to be afraid of the darkness, and so was I. But really, we have no reason to...
It all started on one day, a Friday, it was 4 A.M. and I had gotten up to get away from the darkness of my home and watch the sun go to work. Again, every day I used to go and watch the sunrise, but this time, it was different. It was the beginning of summer, and the sun was supposed to be hot. As I watched it, it started to make me sweat. There was something... peculiar, about it. A small, fog-like line covered the sun's middle. It didn't seem like much, so I quickly dismissed it and marveled in the sun's godly beauty. How resplendent it looked-- the thing that brought us light and heat every day. If we were ever without it, we would surely die of the cold, so the sun must be a good thing, right? Wrong. 
Shortly after the sun's arrival, I noticed the small fog-line had formed a ring around the sun. It even started to look like an eye. In the midst of this, I began to wonder why my eyes still haven't began to hurt, or even blink at the sun's presence. I couldn't move.
I was stuck, looking at the sun, I was trying to look away, but I couldn't. My eyes were fixed on the sun. My entire body was paralyzed. I couldn't even move my mouth. I sat there, looking at the sun, staring at its blinding presence and not missing an inch of the light emitting from it. The sun and the fog had formed a perfect eye. But the sun started getting smaller, as if the pupil of the "Eye" was going away. As the sun started shrinking, I started to lose my eyesight, little by little including each painful detail. It was over.
The last thing I saw was the sun completely shrink into nothing, and as it disappeared, my eyesight began to dissolve until all I could see was white. A white fog which wouldn't go away, would not even be replaced by the morning grass.
I was blind. No more seeing. I couldn't see anything anymore. Just that white, foggy image...

I woke up in a hospital, which my mom brought me to after seeing me sitting on the yard like and idiot looking at the sun. I had a seizure, and sure enough, went blind. After that fateful day, all I saw was that foggy, white horror.
