The tiny crack in his skin was deepening.
Two years previous, Jorge had woken up angry and thirsty
from a bad, bad dream. After ingesting a full 20oz of water, brushing his
teeth, frying three eggs, adding Tapatio, taking a bite – there was a pain.
Two weeks ago, Jorge googled “skin fungus”
Two weeks ago, he bought anti-fungal cream and Vaseline.
Last night he drank 7 whisky sodas.
Before bed he shakily put on the cream.
When he woke up this morning, the crack had lengthened.
When he bing’d it he felt worse.
At work he felt like a monster.
At home he tried to find more reasons not to be.
In the mirror, the ever growing gash on his face made his
decision to be peaceful hard to abide by.
