Wednesday's Child
“ I slept so soundly I didn’t hear Ilene’s alarm clock. She was in the shower when I opened my eyes, which gave me a chance to verify that it was Friday, and to check the mirror on our bedroom wall before she saw me. She’d already been through the shock of seeing my face messed up on Wednesday night and miraculously healed Thursday morning. Friday morning, the right side of my face was peeling as if from a bad sunburn. The flash of the explosion had cost me a couple of layers of skin, but t...he burn wasn’t critical and the treatment I received in the ER had limited the damage. The scabs, which had still looked pretty raw on Wednesday night, (nine hours ago, for me) were drying out. None of that surprised me, but I knew Ilene would be upset when she saw my face, even though intellectually, if she thought it through she shouldn’t be surprised, either.
