Wall


Theme: Wall

"This is genius!" she said. "You can see through walls with it!"

I read stories to Audrey sometimes. She could read Braille, but she said it was difficult to maintain the pace of the story that way. And I didn't mind at all. I loved spending time with her. Her favourite painter, she had told me, was Edward Hopper. She said she didn't have to be able to see his work to know that he was her favourite. He just was. I don't know any other eight year old who had a favourite artist, let alone a blind eight year old.

"See through walls! It is genius, isn't it? Isn't it?" She insisted.
"I suppose it is. I just never thought about windows that way."
