A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a strange package for the optician’s store. Curious neighbors noticed it sitting on the loading dock, wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. What could be inside? Nobody dared to ask. Finally, after much speculation, the owner opened the package during lunchtime. Inside was an old pair of glasses, a note saying ‘For better vision,’ and a bag of donuts. Turns out, it was just a prank from a friendly competitor down the street.’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the House of Eyes and whistled sharply three times. The windows suddenly fogged slightly, as if someone had exhaled inside. Curious, he knocked gently on the door—nothing happened. He knocked louder, and the windows cleared briefly before fogging again with a soft laugh. Inside, an old man in glasses smiled and waved him in, saying, ‘Next time use four whistles—it’s our secret signal.’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the House of Eyes. In the dim light, he noticed an unfamiliar car parked across the street. Curious, he walked over and knocked on its window. A sleepy-eyed cat peered back at him from behind the wheel. ‘Just delivering some glasses,’ muttered the driver. The next morning, everyone in town joked that maybe the cat had ordered them new eyes.’
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the House of Eyes. ‘What in the world?’ he muttered as he saw an unfamiliar box labeled only with a cryptic note: ‘For Mr. Opti-Glasses, open only when moon is full.’ Curious, he opened it under a silver moonbeam—only to discover a pair of spectacles so large they could fit an entire football team. ‘Mr. Opti-Glasses indeed,’ he chuckled, slipping them on and promptly seeing double. As he drove home, his car seemed to steer itself, passing through red lights and honking like mad. The next morning, everyone in town had new stories about the talking taxi.’
