His eyes were as blank and bright as doorknobs.

In "The Long Walk" by Richard Bachman, the protagonist's eyes are described in a striking way, comparing them to doorknobs. This vivid imagery suggests a lack of emotion and depth, creating a sense of detachment. The brightness indicates some level of vivid intensity, but paired with the blankness, it evokes a chilling sensation of emptiness.
Such a description not only highlights the character's mental state but also reflects the overarching themes of desolation and the struggle for survival. The metaphor resonates with the stark realities faced by the walkers, emphasizing their isolation in an unforgiving landscape.
