How Now Uni-Brow?

Campbell Vorgenfeld was quite the unicyclist. He even enjoyed a brief period of fame as a stunt cyclist at the annually held Fjorluksheim Summer X Games. The local constabularies were well known to often stare in amazement as Campbell executed tricks on his unicycle that a roller-skater would be jealous of.

One day Campbell had an idea for stunts that would draw an even wider audience. He designed another, smaller unicycle to be propelled at the same time as the other, using his hands.

After many months of practice Campbell got the hang of contorting himself into the strange pose in order to get the two cycles working harmoniously. Soon he was performing tricks on the street again.

He appeared later the next year at the X Games again, prepared to attempt a triple flip with his new contraption.

The crowd gasped in horror as, in a cruel twist of fate, Campbells trick went awry and the impact of the smaller uni-cycle on his nose collapsed the centre of his face, to the point where his eyebrows were touching.

After years of rehabilitation and plastic surgery, most of Campbell’s face was restored, except for his brow, which forever remained welded together. Campbell blamed the sorry state of the healthcare system for his predicament, but the Old Boys Club that is the medical establishment never allowed him to gain enough evidence for a malpractice case.

Campbell was last heard to be making a career as a tyre re- treader.
