Sin causa aparente, el cuerpo de pronto sabe que el dolor llegará, una sensación extraña, un asomo de malestar que inquieta y predice otro, mucho mayor; y tarde o temprano llega, en relámpagos, en un brutal ataque que se concentra en el ojo, que cubre la mitad de la cabeza con un velo impenetrable de oscuridad.
