    It was a seemingly ordinary day in the bustling city, until the sky was interrupted by the appearance of a giant eye. This wasn't an illusion or some sort of art installation, it was a living, pulsating entity that stared down at the populace with a gaze that was both mesmerizing and terrifying.

    The eye was unblinking, its iris a swirling vortex of vibrant colors. As it hovered over the city, it began to focus on certain individuals. To the horror of the spectators, those who were focused on began to collapse, their life force seemingly drained away.

    It didn't take long for the city dwellers to realize that the eye was targeting criminals. Thieves, gang members, and other lawbreakers were the primary victims. Panic spread through the city, causing havoc and chaos.

    Amid the chaos, a young man named Jack had a different reaction. Jack was a local detective, known for his relentless pursuit of justice. He was determined to understand this phenomenon and stop the escalating chaos.

    As Jack studied the eye, he noticed that it reacted to the criminal's guilt. It seemed to be able to see into the hearts of men and women and judge them. This realization was both disturbing and fascinating.

    Jack decided to confront the eye. He climbed to the tallest building in the city, standing on the edge with a megaphone. He shouted at the eye, demanding it to stop its judgment and leave the city in peace.

    The eye seemed to listen. It hovered for a moment longer before its iris closed and it slowly vanished from the sky. The city was left in silence, the chaos replaced with a stunned disbelief.

    Jack was hailed as a hero, but he felt a deep sense of unease. The eye had left, but its judgment had been harsh and absolute. It was a reminder of the thin line between justice and punishment.

    He knew that the eye had been a force of judgment, not a solution to crime. It had instilled fear, not justice. It was a lesson that he would carry with him, a reminder of the true nature of justice.
