And here is where things become most awful, for as he stands there pretending to gather things together so he can slowly get out of my way, my eyes always fix on a single white hair growing off the back of his left earlobe. It is an unnaturally thick white hair, about an inch in length, kinked in the middle like an elbow, like the whole thing is the arm of an anorexic albino trying to escape the troll's horrible head through this tiny deformed ear. It is a nightmare to behold.
