One day a young woman comes up to Joshua's front door. She calls out to see if
anyone's home. When Joshua responds she tells him that no one's lived in the
house for a while and that she got curious when she heard noises from inside.
The whole time she's talking Joshua is surprised she hasn't run away in fear.
Sensing he was starring at her, she says her name is Annie and she's blind.
Joshua tells Annie he's visiting from a place in France and he passes the time by
painting.
Joshua falls in love with Annie fast. Alec comes over one day and
discovers paintings of Annie. He says the relationship isn't a good idea, even when
Joshua tells him that Annie's blind. Alec convinces Joshua to break it off before
something happens. Annie later drops by and Joshua tells her he has to go back to
France. Annie asks if she can touch Joshua's face, so she can see what he looks
like. Alec stands in.
Some time later Joshua feels lonely and goes looking
for Annie. This gets him and Annie in trouble and they end up in the sewer hiding
from the police. In the sewer Joshua tells Annie the truth about himself. She asks to
feel his face, for real this time. Joshua lets her. Annie tells Joshua to go and leave
her there. Agent White finds her and kills her, so the media can report that a
transgenic freak killed an innocent, defenseless, blind girl. |
