Villain

For the past two days my right eyelid has been twitching. Small spasms, probably invisible to an onlooker. No reason that I can think of; my eye muscles must simply have something to express.

But my imagination insists on conjuring a squinting, salty seadog in a yellow slicker - the one who starred as a villain in my childhood tales. He was the type who would most definitely have a twitchy eye.
