Take Me Away
by Anne Thomas
Levi is 24. He is fit, healthy and likes listening to music. He drinks a
lot of tea and has a dog called Midget. Levi is blind. Casey is 21. She
is at uni, works in a bar and enjoys watching movies. She drinks a lot
of beer and has a rowdy group of friends. They meet and it's irritation
at first sight.
"I didn't see him again for three-months but I would think about him
in the weeks following so often, cringing in embarrassment and shame
every time. My cheeks would heat up and I would shy away from eye
contact with anyone, in case they could read the guilt I was harbouring
and condemn me for it."
