Wow, very powerful, very emotional. It’s sad when people feel that way about their appearance.

Wow, and you said mine was cynical. That went really dark, a whole descent into self-loathing madness in 1024 characters. And nice subtle touch that he’s approaching his 40’s but living with mom? Brutal.

hope his mom doesnt find that mess or else she would hit the roof.

HA HA Celestic’s comment!

Yeah this was dark, brooding, crazy-madness. He should have used shaving cream.

A bald-headed, maniacal entry!

Wow, Kermit. That went mad and fast.

That is dark. I feel sorry for him, approaching 40, balding, still living at home with his mom… and yet at the same time, I couldn’t help but laugh when I got to the part about him looking like an escaped mental patient after the rough shave. Of course, when he started crying and smashing his head into the mirror I felt bad for him again.

Kerm, you’ve got a broad scope with your ficlets, a real variety. You’re the ficleting equivalent of a baskin robbins—so many different flavors. I just read a story of yours that documented a mischevious monkey and then clicked on this. All I can say is whoa. The opposite spectrums fried my cerebrum. Excellent dark story here, incredibly pathetic and depressing character.
