Feel the braid

Reading the bus tale ‘Comb my hair‘ reminded me of the creepiest thing that I’ve ever seen on the bus. There was a man sitting across the aisle from me, he was average-looking, wearing a dress shirt and slacks and in front of him was a woman with braided hair. Her braids were hanging over [...]
