Scars
Prompt: “Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.”--Cormac McCarthy
What do your scars say about your past?
My scars are primarily internal, and I have little need of them to remind me that my past was real. The few external marks I bear merely identify me as being occasionally careless, unfocused or just plain unlucky. Burns on my forearm from sizzling cooking oil; stitches on my forehead caused by colliding with the edge of a diving board while trying to impress a special spectator; a permanent bump below my left shoulder after a rocky landing from a parachute jump. Normal stuff. But they sometimes make good conversation starters or diversions.
