“What is this place?” I ask in worried suspicion. My vision is blurry, but I can trace out a shadowy room with a brown door ahead of me. I walk to the cracked door and open it slightly with caution. I see my village, Darkmeadow, in complete ruin; fire, demons and murdered civilians. I go through the door and hide behind a huge rock. I feel something watching me closely. A hand grasps my shoulder with a firm grip and twists me around. “Dad?” I say in shock. In my head, I hear my dad’s whisper, “My

The light will later hit your neural receptors which turns the stimuli into neural impulses which can be interpreted by your brain. The pupil allows light to hit the retina. Based on the amount of light that enters the iris, the iris changes the size of the pupil to let more or less light in to the eye. The iris changes the pupil size because when there

I’ve found old Charlie lying against the rocky gallery of cave paintings, his eyes are half open and his face is all bloody. In a desperate attempt to bring him back to his senses, I shake his shoulders and repeat his name over and over. Charlie isn’t responding at all, but at least I can see that he’s breathing. Barely.
