A Bald Head in the Doorway
Notestrong language
As a kid I was lying alone in the bedroom watching cartoons on the TV, and the only other person home at the time was my grandma. So anyway, I'm watching TV and out of the corner of my eye I notice my dad peeking into the room. I turn my head toward the doorway, and instead of my dad there's a bald, very thin head peeking in, like a skull with nothing but skin stretched over it and crystal marbles stuck into the eye sockets. Well, I looked at that shit with a poker face back then, and then turned back to keep watching cartoons. Later I went out and asked my grandma if anyone had come by. She said no.
For some reason every time I remember this story, my asshole clenches up.
Read the original (Russian)
В детстве лежал один в спальне и смотрел мультики по телеку, дома тогда помимо меня была только бабушка. Так вот, смотрю я телек и тут краем глаза замечаю, что батя в комнату заглядывает. Я поворачиваю голову в сторону проёма дверного, а там вместо бати выглядывает лысая очень худая башка, словно череп одной только кожей обтянули и вставили в глазницы хрустальные шарики. Ну я тогда с покерфейсом посмотрел на эту хуйню, а затем повернулся дальше мультики смотреть. Потом вышел у бабушки спросил не приходил ли кто-то. Она сказала, что нет. Чёт каждый раз когда эту историю вспоминаю, очко сжимается.
