I was twelve.
It was snowing.
I thought that she might die.
And then I’d have to live with you,
damn your eyes.

In his eyes? They were planet ‘stickers’ from a phone I used to have. I can’t remember which one it was though. Well spotted!

Just thought it might be Mars – God of War. Subconscious imagery?

Another ‘coincidence’! Have you got access to my inner world, Joseph? I hope you don’t for your sake – it’s a bit chaotic in there. 😉
I was first introduced to the phrase “Damn Your Eyes” via Johnny Cash’s song “Sam Hall”.

Did you ever watch or read the Demon Headmaster? It used to freak me out. This reminds me of the terror.
