Hideous Visage

Seeing that hideous face on the menu made me think of a dinner party gone wrong, where the guests not only complained about the food but refused to taste it again, every look and comment adding up to a revolting experience

In my grandma's stories, that grotesque look was her way of showing how village elders used to judge a girl's worth, from the color of her henna to the size of her dowry, their expressions a mix of superiority and loathing

When my coworker made that face during our brainstorming session, it was clear she wasn’t just annoyed, but felt that every idea we brought to the table was a waste of time, and maybe even an insult to her own creative potential

My boyfriend’s face when he saw my cat for the first time told me everything I needed to know about how he felt about our future together,he didn’t just dislike pets, he loathed them, and it made me wonder if he could really handle my world

That face has become my favorite way to roast my teenage sister when she complains about everything, like the food, her friends, even the weather, and I use it to say, ‘you make life sound absolutely terrible’ without words
