I scratch at the little dark bump, scraping away the skin, revealing the hair underneath. It sprouts, unfurls, it's been itching to get out. Looking at the hair on my body, the speck of blood under my nail and the drop of it growing on my leg, did I really need to release it? Did I need one more hair? Couldn't I have let it grow inside me and die? If it needed to burst out it would do so on its own. Not everything needs help.
