LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF DARKNESS - Day Five
Light at the Edge of Darkness - Day Five
compiled by Cynthia MacKinnon
Another of my favorite stories is another of Daniel I. Weaver's stories, “Seeing Blind”. Years in the future on a distant planet an evil darkness is engulfing that planet threatening to swallow it whole and keep light from ever touching its face again. An oracle has been searching for some way to fight against this darkness, some way to protect his people. Where he goes, what he finds and how he is enabled to protect the planet is just plane good writing. It was like having Stephen King give the Sunday School lesson. Dan can get a little graphic, although I think this is one of his milder pieces, but still, it can get to you. If you don't like descriptive evil stay away from Dan's writing. He has a tendency to write things the way he sees them. Seeing blind is no exception, although the twists it takes are unexpected. - David

David, I think that "It was like having Stephen King give the Sunday School lesson" comment is going to to stick with me as a favorite for a long time. I loved that.
I'm very happy that you enjoyed this story. This story's twists are of a sort I haven't seen done before (not saying it hasn't, just that I haven't come across it yet) and I wanted to do something that would send a reader's imagination into overdrive. Of course, I enjoyed it so much that I've thought of about a hundred other shorts I could write in the same vein, but we'll see.
Thanks for posting for the anthology.
God Bless,
Daniel I Weaver
