Days slowly went by for me in pains. I could barely see. I had to rely on my senses and smell. And by the way, it was agonizing. I could feel Martha's pain. She has to bath me and also has to feed me. "I can do it myself!" I yelled at her one morning. "Stop treating me like I am some handicap!" Martha's inhaled sharply.

But then, I could hear the cheering of the men who couldn't stop praising me. "How does he even do that?" "He is blind." "How? That is literally impossible." The girl was rescued and was immediately taken away in an ambulance. As the men let showering me with praises, some of them even took a picture of me. I was not sure if I was supposed to show them my face but it as too late. They were all certain of one thing. I was blind. My mother was lost. She could not believe what just happend. She has left me at home to fend for our daily meal and now I was a hero. Gift were brought before my feet and I was names a hero.
