I hate the hairdresser. I really do. He had
totally changed my life from before, leaving me the "well-cut hair". A
week after I went to the beauty parlor, all I could feel was a cold, slimy head
of a serpent. I looked into a mirror, and hissed in shock. How pathetic I
looked in the long body. Then, finally every hair fell down from my body. I got
shocked again. Oh my hair!
Then, with a sudden shock, I realized
something. This was all because of our local hairdresser. Some might think this
as absurd, but that moment, I could argue with everything I had to prove he was
the reason for my distress.
He was the most garrulous person I’ve ever met. He told me his life story which seemed a fabrication. He only focused on his story cutting my hair. Sometimes acting, jumping, yelling… He didn’t even see my head when his sharp haircutting scissors were heading toward my head.

You should know how fictional and useless the
story was. I’ll abbreviate for you, but it’s still too long, so I want you to
be patient. The story starts with the youth of the hairdresser. I’ll tell you
the story as if I were him.
Originally,
I was a painter, a desperately poor painter. One day, a friend of mine who was
a novelist came to me and suggested a plan: I pretend to be dead, and he sells
my works. You know, there were artists who became famous after their deaths.
However, death itself doesn’t have significant influence. Death with STORY
touches hearts. So he brought me various stories, and one of them was quite
good. This is what he wrote.
He is in the dark
room. No one could disturb his space, which has been locked for
last 10 years. Before he hid in this room, he used to be
one of the best artists in the world. But a car accident changed
everything. He lost his both arms, and that meant the end of his
career. He thought his life was meaningless then. That's why
he trapped himself in his narrow cell, running away
from the world. However, on that day, with a dim sunlight shining between
the curtain, something sparked through his mind. He walked to his canvas
crusted with dust. Now he is going to start his art again.
He carefully held his
brush with his foot, and dipped it into a pink paint bucket. However, he
recognized that the pink paint was all dried. He tried it in several
different colors, but they were also dried lifelessly. He couldn't handle
his disappointment and anger. He threw his brush away, and it flew to his cat
Hannah. She cried, and stared at him. "Oh, I'm sorry."
For apology, he passed a can of tuna to Hannah. But as he opened it,
he found the tuna was dried up also. "Damn! Nothing's usable in this
room!" yelled the painter. Hannah indifferently walked away from the
can.
While he was sitting on
his sofa hopelessly, something peculiar started to happen. The sunlight from
the window got brighter and brighter, and it filled the whole room. It was so
bright that he couldn't even open his eyes -- it was a white-out. Everything
fell apart, and he mindlessly traveled in the magical illusion. After a few
minutes, he could barely have a vision in front of him. saw something in a
blurry light, and slowly approached to see it; but he couldn't help feeling
disapointed again -- it was Hannah. Nothing wonderful, beautiful, or
inspiring, but just his cat. He tried to kick her, but suddenly he felt dizzy
and fell.
When he woke up, he was
lying on his room. He could discover his cat Hannah lying down on the ground.
In front of him, there stood an opened tuna can, and Hannah. This weird
dream obviously changed something in his mind. Like the brightness
he saw in the dream, he could feel his consciousness was also
being lightened. That was the moment he realized the shocking
truth that he have been ignoring for a long time -- It has been 9 years
since he ran out of tuna cans.
He saw the tuna can which
he thought was dried. It actually had nothing in it; it was an empty can,
opened several years ago. He tried to recall the memory of the time he fed his
cat for the last time, but he couldn't -- Hannah died long ago, but
he kept believing that she did not. "It was all in my mind. Oh my
god..." he murmured. Then, he reached the thought that he himself is
no different from his dead cat. He was also dying alone in the dark room,
with a dried paint buckets instead of tuna cans.
I decided to go with this story. He
gave me a new name and a passport. The name was “Mitchell”
“You must take
less than a minute to name it. Who on earth does an artist have that kind of
dull name?” I complained. He said, “Ohhhh, I'm soooo sorry, my dear friend, but you can change it anytime! Now you are done with dry bread. Enjoy
the rest of your life with a palace, tasty food, and servants. Do whatever you
want. Didn’t you say you want to take over KFC? You’ll have enough money for your pieces!”
Since young, I always dreamed about
being a boss of the chicken restaurant. I am totally confident of frying
chickens, and I do love the scent, taste, all of it. I was just captivated. Fortunately, my friend’s plan hit the jackpot, so I could buy stocks
of KFC, and finally I could control the company. However, my happiness didn’t
last long. One of our chain stores sold a raw chicken by mistake, and someone
sent us a written protest. Simultaneously, it was released to the media. People
urged a worldwide boycott. Wait a moment, I will bring it for you.
I
should have said he doesn't have to. It should be stopped at least at this
point. However, I didn’t say anything, and he did bring the letter and started
reading.
To. Head of Dunnae KFC Chicken Store
Good Afternoon.
Weather has been much warmer these days, though it’s still cold enough or
adorable chickens to lose all their body heat during delivery. Well, for you,
Head of Dunnae Chicken Store, I reckon coldness did not bother you while frying
chickens in front of sparkling oil :D I hope you didn’t freeze yourself last
night. What I am really concerned about is the well fare of you oil. Inferring
from last night’s bloody experience of chicken party, my friends are pretty
sure that you poor oil is mistreated. When I walked into my classroom, half of
the classmates were gone. All of them went to the hospital for stomachache.
Since the meals school provides are all strictly tested, they are not the
reason of this bloody disaster. Then, that leaves only one explanation. YOU.
It’s you that mistreated you oil. It’s your oil that failed to cook chicken
perfectly. And it’s that bloody chicken that caused this crisis.
I don’t want to read further since
there are many harsh words. Well… so I ran away and came here.
And he started to talk about how he became a hairdresser.
DO YOU GET THE POINT OF IT? This is an ABBREVIATION of the original one.
Furthermore, I just asked him to cut my hair for 2cm! However, it took more
than 3 hours, and he totally messed it up, making it looks like a flying eagle.
Also, the time with him made me painful. I can still hear him laughing, crying,
and yelling at me. It's traumatic. Yes.. I’m going crazy.. Now I know what I really have to do: to be the
Kungfu master. Let's go to the Shaolin Monastery. I will be back, you hairdresser!! I will shave my head and practice silent performance. Let me see if you can crumble me again! If you can't, then I'll make you bitterly feel the world of kungfu!!
