[pnpgm] The Eyeless man

[kzinti maouse]

   Chion, off to the side and rear of the group he
travels with, makes a slight small face in order to
see if the eyeless man can see or is truly blind (of
course, he could just not care). He thinks to himself,
"Don't want to make that mistake twice, now do I?" His
thoughts returning to Chosai he remembers the man. His
gong. His hat. The bandages covering his eyes. And
easy mark his father had told him. Just be light as a
field mouse and creep up and take his purse string.
Just that easy. Sure. 
   When the man had grabbed his arm Chion thought it 
broke. But that is an easy mistake at that age. Pain
is relative to age most of all. Chion smiles inside.
My hands are like that now. Master Hori, I miss you,
old man.
