Then the commercials ended, and his wife said, “Finally, back to my show!” His reverie was broken by the sounds of glossy women, screaming at each other, lying, undermining, and looking into the interview camera and crying because they weren’t being respected. The bald man sighed to himself, longing for the next commercial break from his life.
