[The Ten Spot] Scars
Sep. 19th, 2007 01:03 pmTEN Scars
1. Maybe most noticeable is the scar on my stomach. I had my appendix removed when I was seven. Aunt Lavinia got me a new journal for the occasion so I’d be entertained in the hospital room.
2. Internally, I would say the scar I’ll always have is the heart ache that never fully healed from my parents’ deaths. It’ll always haunt me, even though I don’t let it dictate my life. It’s a scar that can be covered up, but at the end of the day, it’s still painfully there.
3. I have a small scar on my right knee from a bicycling accident as a child.
4. Similarly, there’s one on my elbow from getting into a row with a member of an opposing hockey team…oh, I can’t remember specifics for the life of me… when I was in secondary school.
5. I sometimes wonder if Styre’s tortures left any scars. They’d be more of the sort you can’t see. But I do believe they’re there. If only because Devros’ form of torture didn’t leave any lasting physical scars. I’m starting to grow tired of those sort most of all.
6. On my left thigh – I fell into a nest of grass snakes at age eleven. I had wandered away from my aunt to explore the nearby woods. There was a ravine that I didn’t see. I’ve had a slight phobia of snakes ever since.
7. On my right hand knuckles are scratches that never properly healed from falling on concrete at age ten. Timothy pushed me after I called him a sexist pig, not fully understanding the words at the time. He deserved it.
8. [Milliways] If I look closely, I can still see a little bit of the rope burn on my wrists from when Le Chiffre tried to… oh, I’d really rather not say. But it’s there. Faint, but there.
9. [Milliways] There are small marks on my left ring and middle that’s the result of a rather embarrassing incident that I do very much believe I treasure, despite the fact. They’re the results of mild frostbite and a reminder that, no matter how randy James and I might be, we ought never to make love in the snow again.
10. A scar on my leg from a rather nasty fall. I wasn’t watching where I was going, not with the Daleks chasing after me. Thankfully, it was only a cut and not anything that would have kept me from sprinting further.
