Another corridor 11
The naked chubster with the CRAB mask feels like a blemish. Something forgotten where no one is expected. It is understood there is no blemish in being true to nature: a lifetime of pretence, of denying nature has been changed. The nettle was grasped, the moment was seized, the chance was taken by standing up and saying this is who I am. The nerves were overcome. Indeed, it was not done with ease, it was done at great cost but the price was paid: I am who I am. It was received with acceptance, this corner of society is not bigoted with senseless aggression against the other, whomsoever the other may be. And the moment was enjoyed. The full sense of relief flooding the emotions with joy. And the moment, it passed. And firstly the passersby who had stopped at the commotion continued on their path. Then the acquaintances returned to their work. And finally the family returned to their lives. And it felt like not a damn thing had changed.
