Blindness comes in many forms. Sometimes only disaster can open eyes.
I've had this story completed for some time and have started and disposed of this cover countless times. But I FINALLY got it finished pretty much the way I want. I can start posting the story now (it should be up momentarily)
I hope y'all will like it. It's so far the first and only story I have written in first person...or double first person, I suppose. 
Here's the first chapter:

This is a really good cover. I like how you did the lighting too, and used soft blue-ish colors for everything else to mimic the appearance of darkness.
