Considering some of my own characters' backstories, I don't feel the need to say.."Golly, that disturbs me!" much, anymore.
Not to say I'm not disturbed at all....I just think about such things so often, I tend to just ignore them, most of the time.
Now that I know what happened, here...maybe the eyelids should be going inward, rather than outward? (I wouldn't know, though..I don't know of anybody that has empty eye sockets)
