Riya's Rebirth
disbelief washed through me
Is that what's been whispering to me? I thought. I must be dreaming. What am I… Medusa?
Still unsure if the voice was real or just in my head, I began searching the room for a blade, scissors__ anything sharp enough to cut my hair. I found nothing.
I moved to my closet, digging through the drawers. There, nestled neatly inside one, was a small pair of scissors.
I grabbed it without hesitation and raised it to my head.
My heart pounded with a mix of fear and adrenaline. Still, I didn’t stop. I dug deeper into my thick strands, and with one exhale, I cut off a chunk of the front part of my hair.
