This whole story has a strange feel to it. It feels like you can't believe everything you read, everything the narrator tells you. It's like he's describing a trip he's having. He probably is! Some of the events he relates are pretty extraordinary. Like how Georgie was able to successfully remove the knife from Terrence Weber's eye, or even the story of how he was injured in the first place. His wife stabbed him in his one good eye for ogling their neighbor, at 3 in the morning... This seems like an extremely odd and, frankly, effed up circumstance. Then the narrator and Georgie run over a rabbit and Georgie tries to save the baby rabbits, and the narrator accidentally kills them, then they pick up a hitchhiker who is AWOL and Georgie promises to take him to Canada. Doesn't this account resemble that of someone describing a dream they had last night?
I think it sounds like someone recounting a drug trip. It's not a stretch.
