    Hah, I like it.

    I also like Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers.

The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."

    If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by Jon McGregor
    "...You are not wrong, who deem
    That my days have been a dream;
    Yet if hope has flown away
    In a night, or in a day,
    In a vision, or in none,
    Is it therefore the less gone?..." E. A. Poe
