The Eye

Who should Toby believe?

His eyes and ears, or his parents and doctor?

Then someone stuck a slip of paper to the kitchen wall and did a lousy job painting over it. He peels away some paint, finds his name and,

                  Memories lost, and prizes found.

                 A favored seat, our secret ground.

                   Western start, eastern found.

                The Number 12, indeed, profound.

Why is that his handwriting?
