Okay, so my Avatar been Updated in attempt to go along with the hand over eyes thing we got going on. Unfortunately, I don't have the necessary drawing tools, or means of copying the original image so I can draw a hand over it, so I took this Meme:
And used it as my Avatar. The only reason why, is so I have a fake actually reason why I can't put my hands over my eyes. From the ending quote of the story, and I've underline the main reason in the quote as Ted describe himself:
I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream wrote:“I am a great soft jelly thing. Smoothly rounded, with no mouth, with pulsing white holes filled by fog where my eyes used to be. Rubbery appendages that were once my arms; bulks rounding down into legless humps of soft slippery matter. I leave a moist trail when I move. Blotches of diseased, evil gray come and go on my surface, as though light is being beamed from within. Outwardly: dumbly, I shamble about, a thing that could never have been known as human, a thing whose shape is so alien a travesty that humanity becomes more obscene for the vague resemblance. Inwardly: alone. Here. Living under the land, under the sea, in the belly of AM, whom we created because our time was badly spent and we must have known unconsciously that he could do it better. At least the four of them are safe at last. AM will be all the madder for that. It makes me a little happier. And yet ... AM has won, simply ... he has taken his revenge ...
I have no mouth. And I must scream.”
"
Rubbery appendages that were once my arms", in other words, I can't reach my eyes, or what were once my eyes.
