STRAY HAIRS
As a single strand in a magnificent head of hair, it saw itself as part of something big and beautiful; a water drop in the ocean, a grain of pristine beach sand, a wool thread woven into a regal Tabriz, a carefully selected word in a great poem.
But one day, as it was being styled, the strand of hair was accidentally pulled away from the scalp.
Once the pride of a beautiful woman, the strand of hair now faced a grim future as the culprit behind dirty floors, clogged drains, and uneaten food returned to restaurant kitchens.
Lying alone on the bathroom counter, it realized, as we all do sooner or later, that life can change at the stroke of a brush.
