Cracking the Egg

Yesterday I was in my kitchen and dropped something. I picked it up and when I went to stand back up – SMACK. I cracked my head on the corner of a table. It didn’t look too bad then, but this morning the front of my head is almost purple. Even the smallest scratch can [...]

I Think I’m Going Bald – The Realization
