Brief Conceits will be moving off of Blogger onto a WordPress-powered site. The transition will happen later this week. The web address will remain the same, and if you are subscribed to the RSS that should remain the same as well. Thank you!

Scott

Scott had stopped running his fingers through his hair altogether. He had convinced himself that that was the only reason he was losing any hair: the gentle brush of finger to scalp.

Combs and brushes were obviously forbidden as well.

It was never a big deal early in life. A hand through the hair might produce one or two stray strands every once in a while, but no longer. Now it would be as if his hand was wearing a wig, a wig of his own hair.

Certainly it would all stay on his head if it was never touched again.
