It was round and smooth. The hairs and veins underneath a small layer of skin looked like flies trapped in tree sap, beautiful and trapped, unable to move.
The camera that had been observing the smooth eyeball tilted and backed away to look at it from another angle, where the side of the eye could be seen, looking strange with a small circle at the end of the eye. The tiny green shades of lines mixed together into a green circle, surrounded by infinite white.
Again the camera moved in a smooth motion, pulling back and tilting away to look at it from an overheard view, where the eye lay on a clean black desktop surrounded by black curtains. The light shone on the eye, making the slight glossy tint to it look like it had been covered in a layer of white gouache. The natural tint that came from being dead made it look almost heavenly.
The centre of the eye, the green, looked sharp and alert, like a deer's eye, as it almost stared at the camera.
Moving away and downwards where the viewfinder pointed up towards the black table on which an eye lay propped lazily, some of its veins visible as well as most of the tiny green circle at the front. Reminisces of dried blood stained on the veins as well as on parts of the table.
The camera focused and the background of black silk curtains melded into a patch of black, making all of the attention draw onto the eye at the right, dangling on the edge of the table, looking as if it was tilting back and forth.
Through the blur of the blackness, a figure could be seen getting closer, before it peaked directly in front of it. The camera focused and showed a man's face.
The video faded to blackness and subtitles appeared:

The words fading away, the camera once again focused on the eye, where it focused in on the mixes of blue-grey, centred at the front, with its blues at the sides of the circle, lining in rows that circled around the mid-point of the eye, with occasional gaps between the rows of blue through which the grey placed itself and hung at the outer rim.
The camera moved and focused on it, standing still at the edge of the black table, shone on from the top right with what appeared to be artificial sunlight.
The light, yellow and white, tilted, then went off.
