Chapter: Comic
When I was a kid we liked to freak each other out at sleepovers by staring at one another in very dim light. There’s enough light to tell that you are looking at another kid’s face but you can’t quite see all the details. Keep staring and your brain will start to fill in the shapes turning your friend into an endlessly changing horror show of features. The game was usually to see who could keep their gaze going the longest before breaking down and hiding their eyes in fright.
Today’s Biff is chilled.
I knew someone who could win that game in full sunlight.
This reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode. This woman was bandaged and they kept saying how ugly she was and how they were trying their hardest to make her pretty and “normal” – then it turned out that all the doctors and nurses were super deformed and she was gorgeous. (I think Miss America actually played the role.)
And they all had that funky upper lip. Watching them eat soup must be interesting.
The woman that played the Twilight Zone role was Donna Douglas, Elly Mae from The Beverly Hillbillies. Per IMDB she did win a few beauty contests, but not Miss America.
My friend was telling me abou that game recently. It also works with mirrors. I refused to look in a mirror for a while.
