"Her Eyes Fluttered Open"

A Story by mattbandstra

Her eyes fluttered open. If he had ever seen an ocean before, that’s what he would have thought of each time he saw her eyes. Light, blue, endless. Deep and full of movement. A perfect, natural beauty. They could be calm, they could be tumultuous. Rising and falling. Enticing. Lost. But he had never seen an ocean. He had only seen this pristine, unearthly beauty hiding behind eyelids.
