Blue lenses to another world
He had recently gotten new blue glasses because he had misplaced – ergo lost – the previous ones. She was so excited to see them left on an open book one afternoon.
She had been trying to get him to read forever.
Readers do that – they try to insert everyone in their magical world. That place where you can escape to from anywhere at any time. Where you can, temporarily at least, forget about the things troubling you. Where you can raise your mind and glimpse into another world, another perspective, another universe. And you always come out wiser, sometimes even bolder.

Trying to nudge anyone into reading your story or book would be easy for some and not so easy for the limited educated. Nice story.

I too struggle to understand those that go through life insisting they ‘don’t read books’. Do they know what they are missing out on!?
