11:10 a.m.:

Prakash calls back. “Why did you just do that?”

“You do realize that I can never drive again, right?”

“Oh please, nobody believes you’re really blind, you’re probably faking it. You look fine.”

“Why would I lie about this? I would give anything to have my sight back! I don’t want to take buses forever.”

“Just think,” Prakash says, laughing, “now you can join the losers, cheapskates, and ex-cons who always take public transportation. It’ll be fun.”

“Karma’s going to bite your ass. Not only will you wake up blind, but you’ll be paralyzed so the only way you can move is in a wheelchair.”

“Whatever,” he says and laughs again, easily dismissing my comment.

“Don’t talk to me again, asshole, until you learn how shitty it is not to be able to drive!”

“You’re such an idiot, I’d love to not drive for the rest of my life. Let someone else have that job!”

“Then why did you sound so excited about your new car? Obviously you wanted to get behind the wheel.”

“That’s true.” I heard the glibness in his voice. “I am excited to drive it! You’re so smart!”

After yelling at him to stop calling me, I hang up again.
