curing from tinder

tinder made my face go numb.

i didn't like my face.

my smile was broken, nothing changed when i tried to express my emotions.

so i ripped it off.

but i couldn't go to work like that.

i had to find a new face.

so i went fishing. for a new face.

i went into that place full of fish that only i knew about.

first fish: face all red. but my ripped face was already red, i didn't want to still look like a blood puddle.

second fish: some kind of fish cadaver, still swimming somehow. couldn't wear that either.

third fish: full of teeth. way too aggressive for me.

then i fished a faceless fish. it looked just like me, ripped face and all.

it seemed fine with that. didn't seem to bother him at all.

i let him go back into the water, then saw my reflection.

i was looking great. despite having no face.

i guess i'm fine like that.
