Once upon a time in San Jose, California, there lived a young girl named Emily. She had a head of beautiful and luscious hair, which she cherished dearly. However, her stepmother, Greta, despised her for reasons unknown. One day, Greta’s resentment reached its peak, and she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Greta dragged Emily to the local barbershop and demanded that the barber shave off all of her hair. Emily’s heart sank as the clippers buzzed to life. She watched as her beautiful tresses fell to the ground like wilted flowers. When the barber finished, Emily saw her reflection and gasped. She looked like a cue ball, completely bald.
As days turned into weeks, Emily’s head remained hairless. Greta reveled in her cruelty, enjoying the power she held over her stepdaughter. Every day, she forced Emily back to the barbershop, making the baldness a permanent fixture in her life
