It all started in grade 3 when all the other children were playing hopscotch. Genevieve was left out and felt an anger build inside. She would not allow the other children to have fun without her, so with a quick shove of little Maggie the fun all ended.

Miss Lemon appeared and questioned each child to find out how little Maggie scraped her face. Genevieve swore she had nothing to do with it and went on her way to the swing sets.

As she walked, she had to stop abruptly for all her sight was taken from her. Her hand reached up to touch her blinded eyes and to her astonishment no eyes were there.

Then came the camping trip as she reached age 11. Her parents lit a fire and specifically said to keep the fire burning. They went to their tent soon after. Her sister, Delia, sat on a fold out chair and described what the fire looked like for her sister. Genevieve was angry that she was not able to see the beautiful sight and took a bucket of water to the fire, extinguishing the warmth it gave.

The next morning her parents were furious and demanded to know who had done the deed. Genevieve gave a quick “not me” and went to her tent.

As she laid in her sleeping bag she drifted off to sleep only to wake the next hour with no way to speak. Her hands reached for her mouth but no lips or teeth would she find.

All she had now was a nose to feature, that is until her wedding day came.

Her fiancé, Jack, didn’t mind her deformities and even created a way for them to communicate through a computer program. He fell in love with her for who she was and not for what she looked like and therefore proposed on a beautiful mountaintop.

Their wedding day was set in the heart of winter and they had a small venue with only a few people. Once the ceremony was over they all gathered for the cake. It was a magnificent 3 tiered chocolate mousse cake decorated with silver flowers and each guest complimented each bite they took. This left Genevieve in a jealous rage for she could not taste her own wedding cake.

After the wedding was over, Jack asked her if she enjoyed the day and as much as she wanted to tell the truth she typed a simple “yes” into the computer. Jack gleamed with pride but his smile quickly turned into a face of terror. Genevieve’s nose started to fade away. Being it was the only way for her to breathe, she fell to the ground, life fading from her slowly. Jack held her close as her nose completely disappeared and Genevieve told not another lie ever.
