Ever since I can remember, my eyes have been different. While most people see the world in its tangible beauty, I see layers that are meant to remain invisible to human comprehension.

People often marvel at the varied visual capabilities of animals, whether it's the vast color spectrum seen by the mantis shrimp or the enhanced night vision of an owl. But what I see is beyond any natural evolutionary gift.

When I walk down the street, I see entities that float between dimensions, weaving through our world unnoticed. Ethereal creatures, indescribable in form, float alongside us, their intentions and purposes unfathomable. Ancient symbols and hidden patterns shimmer on walls, pavements, and even in the air, revealing arcane knowledge that's been kept hidden from humankind.

It's as if I've been granted access to a world that exists parallel to ours, one that's been deliberately kept out of reach from human perception. The very fabric of reality, for me, is a tapestry of known and unknown, visible and invisible.

But this gift isn't without its challenges. While some of these entities are benign, others emanate an energy that's cold and malevolent. There are places I avoid, and times when the weight of the unseen becomes almost unbearable.

Word of my unique sight spread, and people sought me out, driven by a mix of curiosity, skepticism, and fear. Some wanted insight into the invisible, hoping for messages or signs. Others warned me of the dangers of seeing too much, of meddling with realms meant to remain untouched.

Each day, I walk the delicate line between wonder and caution, constantly reminded of the vast mysteries of existence and the profound unknowns that surround us. Every glimpse into the invisible realm is a reminder that our understanding of reality is but a sliver of the grand tapestry of existence.

The morning light filtered through the blinds, casting slivers of illumination across the room. My eyes, still heavy with sleep, began to adjust, revealing the multilayered world that is my constant companion. As I stretched and got out of bed, I could see shadowy figures drifting across my walls, silent observers from dimensions unknown. Beings that seemed to be caught in a perpetual dance of existence, some merely watching, while others slipped in and out of swirling portals.

I made my way to my small workout space. As I pushed through a set of squats and lunges, I couldn’t help but notice the creatures around me. Their forms varied—some humanoid, others entirely alien, but all equally fascinating. They seemed intrigued by my mundane human rituals of keeping fit, their gazes fixed on me as I transitioned from one exercise to the next.

After my workout, I stepped into the shower, letting the hot water relax my tense muscles. The steam seemed to distort the dimensions even more, making the entities appear more vivid. However, as I switched the water from hot to cold, I felt a palpable shift in their energies. The sudden change in temperature acted like a barrier, keeping them at bay. It was one of the few moments of the day I felt relatively alone.

Once out, I quickly got dressed, keenly aware of the various eyes on me. My wardrobe seemed to be a portal hub, with creatures stepping in and out of the swirling vortexes. However, by now, I was so accustomed to their presence that I barely gave them a second glance.

The kitchen was no different. As I started to prepare my breakfast, ephemeral monsters and beings continued their watchful vigil on my walls. Some started with curiosity, others with indifference. The clinking of my utensils seemed to resonate through dimensions, drawing fleeting glances from the otherworldly audience.

But it was while I sat down to eat that the more familiar, yet equally unsettling, visitors made their presence known. Tiny ghost-like spiders, remnants of those I had killed in the past, scurried over my body, their ghostly legs tingling against my skin. Their intent was clear: they wished to be consumed, to find some form of redemption in becoming a part of the being that had ended their earthly existence. The sensation was unnerving. I often found myself scratching them away, trying to focus on my breakfast instead of the eerie feeling of them trying to merge with me.
