Description

This story starts with a fish.

It’s a fish that has been living in deep underwater caves for so long, that its eyes have degenerated up to a point that it’s completely blind. However, Astyanax fasciatus can swim at high speeds, it never ever collides with rocks or other objects in the water and has a perfect sense of where it is. Better even, it seems, than fish that do have eyes.
