Lacking Sight

Chapter 1: Legally Blind
It was June 25th 1923 in Hiroshima, Japan.

Ryoku Shinozawa was due to visit his wife Amaya, who just gave birth to a son.

" (Amaya!)" He said, walking into the hospital room.

" (It's a boy, his name is Hiro)" She said.

Ryoku looked at the newborn, the newborn baby babbled.

A few days after Amaya was allowed to go home with her new baby, Hiro was one month premature and had to stay in hospital for a month.

Amaya noticed something wrong with her new baby.

" (Ryoku, there's something wrong with Hiro)" Amaya said.

Baby Hiro was trying hard to pick up a stuffed toy rabbit, He also kept banging his head into objects.

" (No, Hiro! Don't bang your head on mommy's vase!)" Amaya said, picking him up before he hurt himself.

They brought him back into the hospital again a day later.

They waited outside while their doctors did test.

The doctor then went outside of the room their little son was in.

" (Mr and Mrs. Shinozawa, a word)" The doctor said.

The two followed him inside.

" (There's something wrong with Hiro's eyes, He's legally blind)" The doctor explained.
