Bone Head
The hair faded & thinned away. The skin wore down. The skull ate through. It was a funny contrast, the bleached orb swelling above his eyes. They called him Moonhead until the dome sharpened like a pencil.
By the time it had shot-up nearly a foot, he had meeked away. He covered his head with dark plastic & walked blind in traffic. His face lost color under the bag.
He took off the plastic & dove from a peak. He hoped to ram his pointed skull back into balance. After falling a distance, he began to fly upward, spinning like an airplane propeller past the clouds.
“I think I see God,” he said.
There was a bright flash. He was engulfed.
