Lennie stared at himself in the mirror, a wide grin on his face. He licked his painted lips, his blue eyes crazed. He gripped his expensive, marble, bathroom counter, his fake nails popping off with the pressure.

On one side, he had pliers. On the other side, he had a blade and his make-up.

"Oh, Lennert van IJzer, you're so perfect, you're so... you," Lennie grinned, shaking his head nervously at his reflection. "I love you! Everyone loves you," he gasps.

He looked at the third eye adorning his forehead, staring back at him. He was entranced by it, as if it was talking to him. He giggled, his eyes crying in desperation. He reaches up to his right eye, hunching over the sink as he began to dig.

"Ahhh! Ahahahah!" He screamed, or laughed, as he scraped out his eyeball, tearing it right out of its socket. Blood spewed across the sink, making him gag and throw up over the already present mess. "Ahahaha! Oh, oh! Ahahaha!" he looked at his eyeball with his remaining one. "I... I can't see...! Ahahaha!"

He drops his eyeball into the slurry forming in the sink. He looks up at himself in the mirror again.

"I... I want to see," he smiles, reaching for his other eyeball. "I need to see!" He groans as he yanks his other one out. "Ahhh! Ahahahah!" he cries. "Ow, ow, ow, ow!" he screams. "Ahahahaha, Ahahahaha, I can see! I can see!" He drops his only other eyeball.

He wheezes and gasps, gripping the sink tighter. "I... I can see..." he pants, before collapsing to the bathroom tile.
