   Summary

   As long as he can remember, Mike has received looks.

   Not romantic looks, or fond looks. They’re expressions he can’t easily explain or name. From teachers, peers, friends, and family; from strangers at the store or in the waiting room at the doctor’s office. The one thing all the looks have in common is that they are never good. Always contemptuous, or disgusted, repulsed or anger-filled.

   And they all create the same toxic-chemical reaction of shame and dread in his chest.

   Okay, that’s two things.
