5 Minute Freewrite: I floss my tears

I floss my tears.

I need to. When they come out of my eyes and they freeze like ice (they're not ice), soon bacteria colonize them and they become yellowish. Ugh. There's nothing worse than yellowish solid tears stuck to your face.

Well, even shiny solid tears are not the best.

They form two arches along my cheeks. That's why I always wear a veil up to the eyes.

I once dated a dentist. He liked my tears very much. It was because of him that I started to cleanse them. I hadn't shown them to anyone before.

He told me that if I didn't took care of them they would fall off. And he would leave me.

He hit me frequently. He made me cry. He loved how my tears crystallized into tooth-like protrusions on my face. He worked on them for hours. Then he hit me again.

One night, when he was sleeping, I gnawed his face off. I mean, using the tears. He wasn't killed, but he ran away crying like a baby. I've never seen him since.

That's why a good tear hygiene is so important. Don't you agree?
