Way a Blind Man Tracks Light — Gerald Duff

In The Way a Blind Man Tracks Light (a selection from the short story collection Fire Ants and Other Stories by Gerald Duff), an older man recounts how he lost his sight in a knife fight in a Beaumont, Texas bordello, and what his plight has taught him about the true opinions of others about the past and each other. 'People don't really believe you can't see. They can. Why can't you? Are you just lazy? Don't you want to see what's going on around you?'
