Everybody Knows

by Jordan Harper

“Do you ever think about the sun, how strange it is? This giant fire hanging in the sky, this burning thing that makes the whole world possible, the most powerful thing there is, and the one thing we know, innately, is never look at it. It sits there in plain sight in the sky and your eyes dance around it without you even thinking about it. Because if you look at it directly, it will burn your eyes out of your skull.”
