self portrait challenge: the body

My mother called them "spiderlashes." I would giggle as I blinked them along her skin and she would blink her own back--tiny ticklish fairies on a hot summer day.

(Best seen if you click on the image to note the focus. And the glint in my right nostril is the inside of a nose ring, not a need to blow my nose, in case you were curious.)
