Fresh Scars

By Cat Sourbrat

Picking at scabs is a hard-dying habit for most human beings. Another of such habits is going down perilous paths twice, thrice, many more times, getting hurt in the exact same places old wounds lay before deciding that they've had enough. Every scar tells a story of survival, each in its own way.
