The Yam in My Grandmother’s Kitchen
The first cold morning of October, my throat felt like paper. I drank half a cup of warm water and still felt dry. I took the bus to my grandmother’s apartment. She lived on the fourth floor. The elevator was broken. By the time I reached her door, my lips were cracked. She opened it and pointed at the kitchen. A bucket of water sat on the counter. Pieces of yam floated inside.

Many people look in the mirror, see a white hair sticking out of a nostril, and their first reaction is to grab tweezers. Their second reaction is to search on their phone. After searching, they panic even more. Some say this is a sign of bodily decline. Some say it means your life will be short. The tweezers are clamped on the hair. The hand stops midair.
