32. Saving Face

Prompt word: Local

Note: This week, our computers were down for half the day at work. As a graphic designer, there isn't much I can do without my computer… except work on this week's challenge. This is one of three.

Dean huffed out a frustrated sigh. "Just shut your hole and help me change this bandage."
