Spending Face - True Stories Losing of Face
- A young man, a high schooler, goes for a run up in the hills near his high school in Colorado. Some of his classmates are the last to see him as he runs by their classroom window, he mocking extreme exhaustion, pretending to drag and almost fall from being tired, making everyone laugh, even the teacher.
His body is found three days later, disembowled, his heart and guts ripped out, and his face completely ripped off of his head. He was attacked by a wild cougar. He no longer had a face as we think of a face. Where did he go once his face was torn off by the beast? Who was he then? He no longer had a face.
- A young couple, newly weds and ardent animal lovers, grow attached to an especially charming chimpanzee they see and make a connection with at a wild animal reserve some 50 miles outside of town from where they live. They visit the chimp regularly, and the chimp seems to really like them. They only get close to the beast during feeding times when they bring them into the feeding cages, and visitors are allowed to watch and interact with the chimps.
One time, the woman feeds the chimp a piece of cake, which the chimp loves, and the apparent bond between human and animal grows even stronger. So, when the couple hears that the chimp is having a birthday, they decide to sneak into the preserve late at night and bring the simian a birthday cake to celebrate its birth. They sneak in late at night and jump the fence into the preserve, walking quickly across the large fields to where the chimps are kept. Before they reach their friend, they are attacked by some male chimpanzees. The attack is brutal and savage and the man, who wants to protect his wife, tries his best to ward off the wild beasts. In the process he gets his face ripped off as one particularly vicious champ bits his head and takes off the skin.
The commotion and screams alerts the onsite preserve workers and the couple is taken to the emergency room. The woman and man are both in critical condition, she suffering from a broken arm and severe blood loss from bites. And the man,well, the doctors are at a loss because his entire face is missing - he has no face. All they can do to stop the bleeding is gauze and wrap tightly what was once his face, but still they are concerned, because the man is without a face. The man has no face.
- A lady friend of mine, her mom has a lot of plastic surgery. I have never met her mom, but the pictures I've seen show a nicely smiling woman who must be in her 60's but appears in some strange way to be in her 40s, as if she has a mask on - the eyes have an odd white glow around them, and her smile seems pasted on, almost drawn, like a primitive mask.
I hear a story from a mutual friend who says that once, during plastic surgery, the mother had her face completely taken off and redesigned and reshaped. For a moment, she was without a face. Who was she when she had her face taken off by the doctors? Who was she? She had no face.
