Ficlets

New person

The motel was cheap. Cracks in the walls. Rust in the bathroom. But Kevin could not complain, for this was much better then any place he had stayed in the last few months.

After he took a shower and got dressed into a basic solid blue polo and blue jeans, Kevin looked at himself in the mirror.

He would still be able to recognize him.

Kevin walked down to the local drug store, and bought a razor, hair dye, and a pair of nonprescription reading glasses.

When he got back to his room, he shaved off his 5 o’clock shadow, shaved his long shaggy hair into a buzz cut, and died it bleach blonde.

He put on the reading glasses. And took another look at himself in the mirror.

He was a completely new person, and now all he needed was a new ID.
