Special

1.1

Crust Summers was surprised to

see Hazel Winters dark hair

now short.

And he realised that whatever he'd

say,

she'd do the opposite of,

so he stopped with the compliments

and pretended to hate the things

he really loved about her.

"Your face looks shit caked up,"

a few giggles and snarls

and Hazel Winters eyes were shot

wide,

and she felt herself deepen in the chair

wanting herself to fall through the

crust of the earth

and meet the core.

Hazel Winters never wore makeup

again.
