#one-linerwednesday
So I have this non-cancerous tumor in the middle of my palm (hope you’re not eating as you read this) and the doctor tried to burn it out with silver nitrate (spoiler alert: it didn’t work).
She wrote down the official name of it, which is pyogenic granuloma, so I could look it up. She warned me that most of the pictures I’d find were pretty ghastly. She said:
They’re not cute, like yours is.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Something horrible so small it’s cute.

October 18, 2023 at 5:50pmYou have a cute tumor? That’s still scary. Is this related to your fall?

October 19, 2023 at 8:12amYeah, it’s a real cutie. I could put it on a dating app and everybody would swipe whichever way it is that means they like it. Nobody knows why these rascals develop, but mine is probably related to foreign matter jammed into my hand by that fall. That’s what I get for being lazy and not cleaning the forest floor properly.
