The Curse of Tom's Hair

Tom was a young man with luscious and long hair down past his feet. He cared for it dearly. People would always comment on how beautiful his hair was, and how they wished they could have such hair. He had only ever trimmed his hair, and for some reason Tom's Hair would grow incredibly fast. One windy day, Tom was out and about with his hair down blowing in the wind. The wind was so strong it blew his hair and it got caught on some branches in a tree. This has happened once before, but not as bad as this. Tom was worried and didn’t know what to do. He only thought of one option, to cut it. He grabbed some scissors that just so happened to be on the rock next to him. He braced himself and thought about it for 5 whole minutes... He finally decided to do it. He cut 9 inches off his hair. Tom cried on the way back to his house. It was 7pm and Tom was boiling some water to make spaghetti. He had turned around to grab the spaghetti, and his hair flew into the boiling water and boiled 7 inches off before he had noticed his hair was in the water. He was sobbing, his hair was up past his knees now. He went to bed and woke up the next morning hoping it would be a better day. He went outside to get some fresh air, he felt as if he had been cursed. Later that day, he went to the church to pray for forgiveness for whatever he had done to deserve such madness. He went down to the church basement and sat in a chair, facing the wall. He looked around and saw something on the table, it was a book. The book didn’t have a title, so he opened it. The pages were blank. Tom started turning the pages to see if any of the pages had anything on them. As he was flipping through the pages he thought he saw his reflection, but it looked as if he was bald. He turned back and there was a mirror in the book. He was bald. Nobody knows how this happened, and his hair has yet to grow back. He is now 70 years old and he has a beard. Somehow his beard is still full of color, so maybe he wasn’t cursed after all.
