An Exploration Into Identity

Ten Toes

God, I hate my toes. I think that most people pay little attention to the small falanges responsible for keeping our balance. I am not most people. My toes are long and pale. Unlike my friends, with their delicate stubs, I am able to flex and bend them like tiny fingers. And I hate it. They make me feel like a monster that crawled out of the depths of some swamp. My parents think I’m ridiculous for thinking this way, but I know the truth.
