Milton is a low-level employee for the government. All night, he watches over the most prized-possession of the secret laboratory he works in, hoping one day he would be able to see its eyes. However, he finds out something shocking about the subject he's been monitoring, and starts to feel a small flicker of guilt.
That was probably his first mistake.

I loved this short story. It really had potentional to be something. Usually I don't like my m/m stories with semes that trap the ukes in the corner, but in this one that fact didn't naw at me for once. A rare find. There were a few little issues, but those were personal things for me. The writing also shows how much the author's skills have grown, though the shortness only allows you a taste.
