Today I had occasion to experience something that is strange and unusual, perhaps even unique - a girl with the most extraordinary eyes.
I was rattling along on the line 3 subway train. At a stop I don't remember, this young woman got on with her mama or auntie and sat across from me. She was pretty attractive and of course I noticed^. At first I thought she might be a foreigner because of a certain cast to her face, but maybe she wasn't, as the older woman she was with was quite 'ordinary' looking (of course, I don't mean that in a derogatory way). Anyway, I kept stealing glances at her because - well, you know, just because^ -- but didn't really note anything unusual beyond her pretty features; but then she turned to look in my direction, and I was transfixed!
Her eyes were - I don't know how to describe what I saw. They were certainly normal-sized, but it seemed to me - at least at the time - that they were amazingly deep and dark, almost like the big black eyes of cartoon characters, only "blacker than black". That's the only way I can describe it -- her eyes were "blacker than black". What the heck, I was just spellbound. How is it possible to encounter something like this in real life, on a living person? On a noisy subway train ride full of distractions, no less? After that first shocking eye-lock I kept looking at her, and yes, even when she wasn't looking at me directly, her eyes seemed huge and "blacker than black".
I don't know, maybe she was one of those human-disguised extraterrestrials the ET-nuts are always going on about; or maybe I was recognizing someone I knew in a past life? When someone impresses me deeply that's my standard explanation^.
