Dickheads


It’s called Treacher Collins syndrome. People hold eye contact for too long. Or avoid it, stare where her chin should be.

The spa package was a gift. She feels beautiful, glances at her nails, feels her smooth forehead.

A carload of boys slows. One leans out. “Why the long face?”

  1. Wow, what assholes, so sad, ruining her moment of enjoying her pampering. I couldn't remember what Treacher Collins syndrome is so I googled it; intense. Great thing to write about. I could see a longer story on this.

  2. Yes, this is great -- "a carload of boys" that almost always means trouble doesn't it?
