The problem was his eyes.
Irises looked homogeneous from a distance but up close they were finely wrought mosaics. Whorls of periwinkle orbited around the dark center of Kamran’s pupil, shot through with flecks of gold and grey. Staring into them, leaning so close that his breath fogged up the glass, he plumbed the depths of the uncanny valley, becoming a stranger to himself.
Everybody knew that people with blue eyes were lazy, violent, and stupid. Blues were thankfully absent from the halls of power, the few celebrated exceptions proving the rule. Crime dramas featured blue homicidal maniacs. Parents protected their children from the corrupting influence of blue peers. Blue travelers took secondary screening at every airport for granted.
