She couldn't sleep and so she got up and went into the bathroom and shaved her head.
It was 3:30am. She said she remembered hearing or reading once that 3:30am is the most common time people commit suicide. This head shaving was, she realised, a kind of suicide. But one she would live through. Her fresh skull would be a reminder of the next step. It would be a death's head.
When she put her prickly head to the pillow she wondered who would be the first person to see her in the morning.
