Mostly everybody is born with eyebrows upon their forehead. Whether they are white, blond, brown, red or any other color, they are still eyebrows. See, eyebrows come in all shapes and forms as well as colors. Some eyebrows are big and bushy, some thin and small, and some neatly groomed to symmetry and perfection, but Ruth Nocturna had eyebrows like nobody else. She had no eyebrows. And that's because her eyebrows ran away.
It all started one morning in early April. Ruth had just woken up and pulled the covers off of her when she realized that something was different. She couldn't quite grasp what it was, but she knew that something had changed from the time she closed her eyes the night before to now. She looked around and didn't find anything out of the ordinary except some safety scissors on the carpet, so she shrugged it off and headed into the bathroom to start her morning routine.
As soon as she got into the bathroom this happened: "...AHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHH! Oh my..." (rapid breathing) "My HAIR! Where did it GO!"
Peering at herself in the mirror, Ruth saw that something had changed for sure-- her hair.
Ruth's most prized black curls were missing in awkward stripes across her head. And it seemed that her eyebrows had been shaved off in the process. Her mother and father who scrambled out of bed in a hurry gasped when they saw her standing in the bathroom, pinching herself over and over, trying her best to wake up from this awful dream. But it didn't work.
