A work of fiction, eh? What parts are fiction and what parts are real? I wonder.
I could certainly be based on some realities I've had...
Except I remember that it wasn't toothpaste in my eye no the day of a big meeting, but shampoo and it wasn't baby shampoo. I had never had this particular brand, but it burned like acid!!!!! for like 10 minutes.
And then I nicked myself shaving... hypothetically.
