Light Sensitivity's Expensive

Excerpt from "Two Thousand Dollar Bike NUMBER TWO. Number One Got Stolen." by Erin at Out Of Character:

Strangely enough, the more I wear my glasses, the more I seem to rely on them to see shit. Which is fine, both my parents wear glasses, I'm 32-years-old, I think my delicate ego can digest the fact that these glasses serve a purpose other than banal fashion accessory. The problem is that if I take more than two steps outside during the day without sunglasses, my entire face tries to fold up like a clam shell; last week I attempted to check the mail without my sunglasses and I ended up crouched in the front yard with my fists balled into my eye sockets until dusk. It was a really unproductive way to spend ten hours.
