Description

The Eyes Have It (also known as The Girl on the Train & The Eyes Are Not Here) is a short story by Ruskin Bond that was originally published in Contemporary Indian English Stories. The narrator of this story, a blind man whose eyes were sensitive to light and darkness, was going to Dehradun by train when he met a girl and had a chit-chat with her. It was only after she left and another passenger came into the compartment that the narrator realizes the girl was blind.

    Philip K. Dick uses the narrator's misunderstanding of idioms to describe the horror with which most science fiction might read a run of the mill romance novel. It's a quick read with lots of humor.
