In memoriam... (Standalone - current)

Parting is such sweet sorrow. It's a mixed blessing; feels like it's a life changing decision. Jared sits still, quiet, his shallow breaths giving away his nerves. A touch on his shoulder ... He nods.

A moment later and it's over. It took him months to get to this stage and in one fleeting movement, a flash of metal, it's gone, lying forlornly on the floor.

Strangely, he feels lighter, like a weight's been lifted. He smiles, looking up, catching Henry's eye.

"I can always grow it again." He murmurs as the hairdresser gets to work in earnest.
