Barber Shop

Barber Shop

Sam van der Hoeven

I saw him for a brief moment later on. He looked different. Better. Like a man emerging from a barber shop, all trimmed and tidied up. But it wasn't his hair or beard; it was the man himself. His rough edges were cut back, highlighting his charms. He was clearly the same man, I recognized him without hesitation. But in the very next moment, I realized I had never really seen him at all.
