A day in the Life

Here is a section from the newest piece, "A day in the Life."  Enjoy.



Steven stood in front of the mirror, black comb in hand.  He prepared yet again to fight the battle he waged on a daily basis.  He forced the plastic through his thick curls, and let out a cry of frustration as it got caught in his thick curls.  He breathed heavily again, trying to push the frustration out before this ended like it did every other morning, with him throwing the comb across the room like a tiny plastic javelin.  The universe had conspired to make this difficult for him.  He knew no matter what he did it would not matter.  In 20 minutes his hair would have reverted into a thick mass of black atop his head, like a demonic birds nest.  But, Steven thought, he needed to make the attempt, otherwise he would go insane.  He sighed, and began again.
