Real life Mike Bennett type story
"While in the Grayson County Jail in Sherman, Thomas plucked out his right eye before his trial later in 2004. A judge subsequently ruled he was competent to stand trial."
Second eye on Dec 9 2008:
“An officer on death row was conducting a security check on 10 building when he observed what appeared to be blood on the face of (Thomas),” Clark said.
He said Thomas told officials he had pulled out his eye and eaten it.

The Mike Bennett story is what our eyes don't see, but maybe Thomas's did. Does a demons voice echo in the now hollow caverns that lead to Thomas's mind? Did the demon make his eyes see other demons in everyone? Did he eat his eyes so the demon could no longer force him to see those things? But did that turn out to be a bad idea? Is he now trapped inside the darkness of his own mind and can now only see the visions that the demon gives him? Was the demon once a Catholic Priest?
Or is the guy a total schizophrenic nut job?

I'm going to have to second the "insanity" vote. Wouldn't plucking one's eye out be enough to establish mental illness? Eating it is overkill, really.

It depends on how you season it.
Prison
I completely believe this story. My last job was working inside of a prison as a secretary. My job was to gather information on each inmate and type up their "Criminal History Summary" for their file. I'm telling you, there were absolutely nauseating things I had to type. Some of the files in the file room had actual crime scene photos. There are some really messed up sickos out there!
