Part Six

Shave


He did it in one tense motion, praying "Beam me up!" in his head like a mantra.

Greg Mushroom opened the door of the little bathroom closet, flowed out (trailing a clear plastic tube), flowed inside the first class cabin and said, "Oh, excuse me."

The flight attendant looked annoyed and not the least alarmed. "May I help you find your seat, sir?" she asked in a patronizing tone.

"Uh...oh," he said, his tenseness helping him come off as confused and embarrassed. "I was just looking for a place to shave." He showed her the shaving cream. She didn't look impressed. Then, taking a deep breath and gripping the mask he held behind his back for reassurance, he showed her the contents of the shaving cream canister.

And the rest of the First Class cabin experienced it, too.
