This is a plea to the Glasses Thief. Who is this? The Glasses Thief is similar in stealth to the Easter Bunny or Jack Frost or Santa Claus. Although we know he is there, we never seem to catch him in the act. Instead of bringing chocolate, frost or presents though, he likes to collect things. As his name suggests he has a particular tendency to collect glasses. He usually returns them but occasionally he's slightly forgetful.
My glasses have gold frames and shine in direct sunlight. This shimmering comes from the silver gems which were affixed to the sides of the frames. Unfortunately over time, and through no fault of my own, many of the gems have miraculously disappeared which has left glittery black orbs in the sides.
The ends, or templates according to the internet, are two shades of brown, both light and dark through which you can still see the ends of the frames. These have also lost their curve which means that they are prone to sliding off my face whenever I look down. When the glasses are placed on a table, the frames are slightly wonky. This was also no fault of my own and I definitely did not put a book on top of them.
The left lens itself has a small scratch in the top corner, nearest the nose pads. This is of little consequence compared to the small issue of the greenness. The nose pads and the front of the frame are turning green due to the powers of nature. I personally don't see this as a major issue unless anyone remarks on the green nature of my glasses and questions whether I know.
A couple of weeks ago, the Glasses Thief snatched my glasses when I had my back turned. After a week of fruitless searching they reappeared on the mantelpiece as if by magic. This is a precaution against my glasses being forgotten again. I can see why he loved my glasses so much and I agree with him. Yet he can get his own because I need mine.
