by Victor's Hairpiece
September 7, 2008
I was getting kind of slimy under that hot black
ball cap! Fortunately I got out and had a lovely vacation!
Here's what happened:
I thought I was going to die from the heat! It was steamy, yes sweltering,
in there. I am used to fresh air and sunlight. Well, recycled air and
florescent light anyway. Although I do get outside when Zapato takes us for
a walk.
I like Zapato in spite of the fact that he once got hold of me and ran off.
He didn't chew me very much, and his breath does smell better than, well,
you know.
I can't say because, after all, hairpieces are trained/designed to be
discrete. You can take the hairpiece off of the head, but you can't take the
training out of the hairpiece.
After that little episode, I was cleaned and re-woven. That's when they
started calling me a 'weave'. The only real difference was that I never left
Victor's head. Not even in the shower or, ugh, in bed! Oh the nightmares! I
still shudder at the very thought.
Oh, I hope I am still being discrete. I'm not sure. Some of Vic's dementia
may have seeped into me in spite of my lifetime guarantee and my coating of
softly silver paint.
After I don't know how many days trapped inside that smelly ball cap I
suddenly found myself, in the fresh air! I was still inside the hat but
sitting on a bar not too far from a shot of tequila.
Oh the fresh air was wonderful! Yes the lovely smell of stale smoke,
unwashed bodies, and booze was like fresh spring air to me!
Not only that but the man who was pouring tequila into the shot glass
noticed me! He asked Victor if he would like to have me cleaned and 'fixed
up.' He was speaking Spanish, but somehow I understood. Maybe it was those
captions. I'm not sure.
Victor must have nodded because the bartender snatched me out of that hell
hole, uh ball cap, and placed me on a shelf under the bar.
Victor grunted and crammed the ball cap back on his head. Without me the cap
hid ever more of his face. That's good because he hasn't washed or shaved in
days! I couldn't help but feel sorry for that poor ball cap. Guess I'm
sensitive as well as discrete.
From underneath the bar I was taken by a little girl outside into the real
fresh sea air. Though I was in a paper sack I could still sense it. I could
hear the rolling waves and smell the rain of the coming storm.
After that I was cleaned with sweet smelling soap and put into the sunlight
to dry. Hahn... I wonder if I got much of a tan? When I was dry I was
massaged, combed, and re-woven with real human hair! No one not even at
those 'fancy NAP spas' has ever had better treatment! I was sooo relaxed!
After that I was placed on a soft mannequin head to wait for Victor to
summon me. The head was close enough to a window for me to watch the beach
with the calming wash of the tides. Ahh, what a peaceful time I had.
Alas it ended. The little girl picked me up and took me to Victor in a dingy
old hut. How she knew how to attach and style me I don't know. But darn, as
soon as she left I was shoved back under that ball cap with only beautiful
memories.
