There is this guy I know, his
name is Ricky. Oh how everyone loved his thick, silky, black hair.
All through his life, he would receive compliment after compliment
saying how lucky he was to be born with such hair. He received most
handsome in high school, prom king, and homecoming Cutie. All the
girls loved him. Everybody knew Ricky.
Well, time passed by and Ricky
had never settled down and had a family. He loved the wild life. But
last month, Ricky had turned 48, which meant his 30th school reunion.
He was so excited to get more compliments on his hair.
On the night of the reunion,
Ricky made sure his hair was perfect. He got to his old high school,
and person after person would come up to him asking, "Ricky, is that
you? My, how your hair is thinning. Boy, I bet you're pretty upset
about that, huh?" Ricky was confused; he didn't think his hair had
thinned in the least bit. He went home upset.
That night, Ricky looked into the
mirror and reality hit him. He had been living on what he used to
look like, but he really had aged. He went to his emergency hair
cabinet and reached for the Rogaine, a hair growth stimulate. He
looked on the box for suggested use and quadrupled it. He put it all
in his hair and went to bed. That morning, Ricky woke up to alarm.
The Rogaine had worked, but way too well. All of his head and face
was a thick, glossy, black coat of hair, and his green eyes looked
similar to a cat. He went to the doctor but nothing could be done.
Ricky will not be able to live in the past anymore, but day by day,
like one is supposed to live his life.
