            Aftereffects*

            When she asks about your scar
            she doesn't want to hear it's there
            because fibroblasts grow quicker
            than normal cells and form thick layers.

            She wants to hear an exotic story
            of daredevil adventure on the final frontier,
            and to hear you exclaim modestly,
            "It's just a scratch, really!"


            *After a story by Allen Pace
