Listing Details
In this whimsical, light-hearted fantasy tale, Morgan Hunter, a struggling florist stricken with a sudden onset of color blindness, starts to lose all hope. After winning a gigantic Powerball lottery, he travels to Paris, France, for a life-changing experimental operation in a desperate attempt to regain his sight. At the Vision Institute in Paris, Hunter learns that the highly experimental medical procedure will involve rerouting his body's optical signals through his heart to give his optic nerves a chance to heal. The effects of the procedure will last for one complete year. As Morgan starts to see the world through his heart instead of his eyes, he meets the woman of his dreams only to lose her when his normal vision returns. Is beauty in fact only in the eyes of the beholder? This warm and romantic short story finds the answer to this age-old question.
