-- The Black Gloves --
Franziska von Karma was on her way home from work one night. She had stopped at the store to pick up a few things before going home to her apartment.
Once inside the store she carefully selected a mix of items. Shaving cream. Razor blades. A bathroom rug. Pancake mix. Rubbing alcohol. A box of tissues. Lipstick. Condoms. (She didn't know why she bought the condoms, it's not like she could ever find a guy who wanted to have sex with her.) Anyway, she was pretty sure the cashier had no clue what she was up to, and that was the main purpose of buying the extraneous items.
Once she got home, she took the rubbing alcohol and razor blades into the bathroom and left everything else in the bag on the kitchen counter. She stripped off her gloves and laid them aside.
"I do NOT have to be perfect all the time," she said to herself as she opened the package of razor blades. "I don't. I don't." She continued to chant this to herself as she drew the blade across the palm of her hand. She switched hands and made a long cut on the other palm, in the midst of a patchwork of similar white scars. Then she held her hands out in front of her and watched with blurred vision as her blood flowed over and splashed onto the bathroom rug...
