#widow's

Isaiah 1:17 (ESV) - learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.

I have a coworker friend with one hell of a widow's peak. This poor sap is a junior in high school, but already sports the hairstyle of a 40 year old. One day he came into work with a shaved head, a haircut which only served to magnify the intensity of this god forsaken hairline. Seeing him with a buzz cut instantly reminded me of Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket, and I soon confirmed the two to share an uncanny resemblance to each other. Seeing my friend produce the same mad expression Private Pyle made during his last stand was a riveting joke for the rest of the shift, aiding us through the tough times. Often, he would lift his hat up like he was drawing a gun and shove his observable genetic short-straw in my face as if to instill fear or some kind of alternative emotional response. I often replied with “Dude, put that away. You're scaring people!” or “I can’t take you anywhere with that widow's peak!” and he would laugh and conceal the damned thing once more in fair defeat. One night I was dropping another coworker off at home after we closed down the store. I had to do a double take in the rear view mirror because I could've sworn I saw the widow's peak and its host staring me down with the Private Pyle face from the back seat. I did not drive home soundly that night. Nightmares tear at me now.
