Nose

 

Nose

She sat, stunned, as the entire family acted like nothing had happened.

They had all seen it. In fact, they’d laughed.

Her grandfather had reached across the table and taken her nose.

Just like that.

She hadn’t even been aware that it was removable.

Horrified, she’d clutched at her face. It didn’t feel any different, but clearly there was her nose in between her grandfather’s fingers. 

As she started to cry, her grandfather quickly put her nose back, chuckling and tousling her hair.

And now, everyone had moved on.

But she had not.

And she would have her sweet revenge.
