Give it to me.

"Though he did not think he had meant for it to splurge where it did, he felt somewhere inside that the opposite was true. There were not any eye drops in the cupboard when he rushed to look – to squint and bear the interestingly intense fire occupying mostly his right-hand eye – so water would have to suffice. Interestingly it continued to burn in his right-hand eye even when he forced his body into a degrading position under the lukewarm water of the bathroom taps. For science he exposed the left-hand one to a cooler torrent which, as its pleasant temperature worked at his injury, convinced his ocular nerves to ignore the creeping heat of the other. With a deliberate ease he brought himself out from under the taps and inspected his face in the mirror. The hot tap had scalded him slightly on the right-hand side and it has begun to steam his reflection to conceal this fact from him. But he had seen and used the glove of his shirt to squeak its arms round to off. Then he kept going. It was too late for the hot tap because it has committed to the fatal action of harm him – him! And it began to bleed its cooling blood into the basin once he had disconnected its arms and hurled them away. Soap! Where was the soap? There! The bar initially buckled then its edges were shaved off to fit inside the trunk of the tap. He staggered with heavy legs backwards in a crabwalk to maintain eye contact with his dying enemy who drained one last drop before remaining still.
His eye’s original burning had become confused with its scalding, and had seemed to have subsided when the red area on his face returned to its natural colour. He had stood there before the mirror a further two hours, examining, searching his beautiful complexion for an irregularity that could be hiding under his nose, on his eyelids, in the dark corners of his mouth. There was nothing – only the red patch which was fading into rained-on plastic. He was very impressed at himself. So impressed, in fact, that he began to feel another urge to splurge just standing there in his shirt."
