hate crimes

Her hair offends me the most.  To wear it so black and still appear cheerful.  Almost a bowl-cut but a bowl-cut from the trendiest bowl.  And those glasses that frame her eyes like they are a priceless pair hanging in the Tate Modern.  Framed so I’ll notice them, or they’ll notice me. 

 

I know these evil wishes can sprout legs and hurry back to bite me - but for now I’ll bless them and send them on their way, with an address, a map and a deadline.

 

I hope she spends her days dry and childless.  I hope she is widowed young - the wrong side of forty five.  I hope one leg develops a drag that sends her round in circles.  I hope her hair curls.

Love this. Brilliant ending. Love the flood of energy in this.

As someone who has never had curls, the curse of suddenly having them would be a dream come true!
