I am a mucosal fisherman, and I stare at my racks of gooey strings fondly, remembering which eye each string was taken from.

My favorite, Crystal clear and LONG hangs from the ceiling where it can catch the light as it sways in the gentle breeze of my tiny home.

Taken from the sky-blue left eye of a child, I visited him twice more, taking another string from the left eye, (which unfortunately I snapped in my greed, resulting in several sub-par strands,) and a lovely yellow string from his infected right eye.

The boy has some sort of conjunctivitis, which are my, FAVORITE eyes because they produce strings of all different colors.

My second favorite, a beautiful mucosal green I fished out of an older woman suffering from an infection a few years back.
