Becoming a faceless man

"Ahhhhhh!" Frank let out a blood-curdling scream as he held his hands over his face. He was breathing heavily, and countless beads of sweat rolled down from the pores of his face.

The pain was absolutely agonizing. He could even feel the thumbs of the old man inside his skull.

"Eh, hm," a coughing sound emitted suddenly beside Frank.

"hm?"

Frank raised his head and looked straight ahead.

When he heard the cough, he realized that the pain he was feeling was all gone.

But that wasn't the only surprising fact.

He could see the same blind old man in front of him.

That's right

He could see

"what ?" Frank looked at himself.

He looked on , with a look of utter disbelief.

"Hehe, kid, you are brave. Many people fail that test whenever they get here," the old blind man said as he took a cup of wine from the table.

Frank looked around, only now realizing that the whole thing was some sort of dream or a very detailed illusion.
