I started reading a Nifty story called "Blind Sensations". I had hope for this one. It's about a 12-year-old who became blind at the age of five after a car accident. But the narrative sounds like an English lawyer. Maybe the story is set in the UK? So, it still sounds like a lawyer is narrating. Oh, and the boy has some form of clairvoyance, which allows him to actually "see" what a person looks like when he touches them. He can also describe his own appearance in the bathroom mirror. Is he totally blind, or just legally blind? There's a difference, and it affects the atmosphere of the story.
