"STOP FIGHTING US!"

Logan had never expected this.

He backed away slowly, as far as he could. They were his parents, they could never hurt him. How could they?

But they just kept coming closer.

"We don't want to hurt you,"
His mother whispered in a sickenly sweet voice. She had her had grasped around a needle and sewing thread, inching closer, while he creeped back.

"I-I d-don't want to be like daddy,
I want to to see!"

"But you will, and it doesn't hurt, daddy told you so. The buttons are a privellage you know. We have them, your grandparents have them, and now you should have them!"

She smiled at him.

Logan stared at his father, who was slumped his chair. His skin was pale, he had dark red marks around his eyes, and his mouth was wide open. He looked just terrible, as usual. And mother had told Logan that Daddy was going to be like that and sick forever. His dark hair was in sweaty clumps on his head, his breathing shallow. But his eyes were the worst. Deep blue coloured buttons covered his eyes, thread inbetween the gaps.

They were sowed directly into his eyes.

Logan had never seen his parents eyes. The buttons were there for as long as he could remember. Nothing but those horrible buttons. They haunted his dreams. Were the center of his nightmares. And his mother always said that one day he would be like them too.

This was the day.

"You can finally go outside, and see the rest of the house and the world." She still had that twisted grin on her face. Big blue buttons covered her eyes and she could see through them, even though they were sown into her eyes.

"Just let me sow them onto your eyes. It'll only take a minute, dearie."

Logan had backed up into a chair, his hands shaking violently.
"N-no.
Not yet."
He whimpered, glaring at the buttons on his mother's face and the needle and thread.

"NEXT YEAR PLEASE!
NEXT YEAR!"

His mother backed away, a sad smile upon her face. Her hands limply dropped down to her sides, as she sulked.

"One.More.Year.
Then you have to have your button eyes."

She stormed out of the room, slamming the door loudly.
