Eye know your secret, can see right through you, into your soul. Eye see the way you talk, the way your mouth smoothly presses together as the words emanate from your lips. Eye see the way your nostrils flare and your brows get those little wrinkles that look like crow’s feet.

Eye can feel it in your piercing gaze.
Eye know your secret, sense the essence of the stench. As the water-like substance meets the air, the foul smell disperses, guided by your ragged breath.
