a big hole in the ear lobe
She pointed at the
big hole in
her ear lobe.
“Yeah, I tried putting
a horn through it.
Real piece of horn from
a bull, by the way.
But problem was, after I got
it in, well, it just
didn't look as cool as
I thought it would. It
didn't look
like a horn. More like a
dick. I don't wanna
walk around with
a dick in my ear. And now I'm
stuck with
this hole. I like it,
but I'd like to
fill it with something.
Something cool, you know?
What would you put in it
if you
were me? Oh, and don't give some
witty answer like 'common sense' or
'a brain' or some shit
like that cuz I'll leave
right away.”
He said nothing. Just watched
her, eyes
fixated on the large hole
in her ear lobe
She snapped her
fingers. “Hey, you alright
though?”
He said, “My mother died
the other day.”
“What? Oh god, I'm... so
sorry.”
“I'll cut off her
ring finger,” he said
“W-what?”
“With the wedding
ring on. It's not too late,
we haven't buried her yet. Her
body's still at the morgue,
in the freezer. I've the
right to see her. I'll cut
off her ring finger
and you can put
that through your ear, how
about it?”
“What the fuck!?”
There was silence at
their table. Only stares
“Boy, you're crazier than
I am,” she said
finally.
He nodded
and stood and motioned
the waiter for
the check. “Let's go to
the morgue right away.
I got some good pliers in
the car. Even a saw.”
She said nothing for as long
as it took
the waiter to
bring them the check
though when she finally
found her voice
she said, “Alright, let's
go, love.”
