The only short stories I can think about regarding a “bandage” are all sad, depressing. I don’t really want to think about injuries that need fixing. It’s too hard, sometimes, to figure out *how* to fix what’s wrong…and even harder to acknowledge that perhaps it can’t be fixed.

wait for the birds
to fly
wait for the rest
of your life
cover your wrists
with plastic
and let the dogs
run past it
keep band-aids in
your pocket
and never let them
off it
for who knows when
a broken heart
will need a mend
and when you’ll be
the star
in the eyes
of my glorious
surprise
carissa
the girl cried. tears streamed down her pale cheeks. her mother sat beside her, holding her small hand. “my dear girl,” the mother said, “some things cannot be fixed with a bandage.”
Kayla
Used to cover up so many injuries…within and without. So many times has blood stained it’s pristine white cloth. But behold, the wounds do heal in time. And the bandage makes it so. Blood loss and pain…just a memory.
Aniphx
a tattoo on his arm showed a broken heart patched with a bandage. and I thought maybe I could be that bandage.
ophelia
i had this cut on my leg. It was bleeding, so I got a bandage and put it on there! It wrapped up so tight that I lost circulation in my foot! It started tingling with pins and needles. It was so painful.
Laura Wiederhoeft
healing power. band aid brand. i never have enough bandaids and i always have to ask someone else for them. i don’t use them too much though. i’m pretty cautious for the most part. i don’t even have any good scars and really at that rate, i don’t have that many good stories to go along with them. i need more bandaids, more bandages, more stories
molly
I hurt myself today and I felt it. There is a cut on my arm. On my wrist. I tried to cover it with a bandage, but no luck. People can tell. They say I’m emo. I dont even know what that means. Oh well, I have a scar to look forward to.
Nick
I sit and watch and ride the clock. Healing time is a soothing lie. Tear the bandage off in one swift motion.

ouch! band aids were the quick mom’s answer to a bandage. ANyone who has ever tried to bandage an appendage – either they’re own, or a small child, or a four legged friend – knows that you need something to secure one end of it. What better than a sticky side? Tape with pad, can’t beat it!
Shelley
Bandage is a fun word. How old is the band? you never know. Put a bandage on your wrist. Just in case. Make sure it has fancy pictures though. You cant have a bandage without that. I recently found out if you use vodka, it will make the residue left from the bandage go away quicker. How amazing is that. I drank a lot of vodka last night incidentally.
Dominic
When I was 3 years old, I smashed my head on the arm rest of a metal chair. Although I should have gone to the hospital, my father decided to wait 2 hours until my mother came home from work. In order to stop the bleeding, he put a small finger bandage on my head. Clearly, he is fantastic in a crisis.
Molly
there’s a little piece o cotton stuck where it shouldn’t be…i have calmed down now i realise, as the cotton sinks into the keys and disappears. The first day she rested, the remaining 351 she fought. I hope.

A bandage is really unnecessary most of the time. Our bodies make their own bandages. We call them scabs. But I guess that they make us feel a little more comfortable. And isn’t that really what life comes down to most of the time? Just feeling a little more comfortable?
Batsheva
Bandages can be tangible or metaphorical. Right now, I think of bandages as the temporary ventures I undertake to fulfill passions I don’t yet possess, ways to conceal a bleeding spirit whose direction was lost long ago. I think of loves faded, hobbies tossed aside, and artwork long forgotten.
Zach Stanley
pain that underlies the BANDAGE
the cut that seeps through the BANDAGE
sucking you into a deep concussion under the BANDAGE
betsy
Bandages cover your cuts.
Protect them
Heal them
Shield them
and
Make you feel better, even when you don’t need them

we all fall. and sometimes we fall harder than expected. sometimes a bandage is all you need. sometimes you need much more. something you can’t touch or see, but is very much there. it’s apart of life this falling and getting hurt. there is nothing you can really do about it but pick yourself up and dust off.
Samar Jurdi
My heart is bleeding. And no amount of bandage can patch up the wound that you’ve made in my heart. I’ve cried over you too many times. Maybe it is really time to move on… to find someone who wouldn’t hurt me as much as you did. I always thought physical pain would be the worst but you’ve proven me wrong. Your indifference still hurts me… like I never mattered.
You’ve crushed my heart. And now, it’s too late. You’re too late.
Trina
bandage? a cure. well more of an inhibitor, a concealer. man this is hard. A BANDAGE?!
Jay
The chevron of a bandage, the rank of the survivor of the 6th grade go-cart races.

if only there were bandages to help ease emotional pain. maybe i could place one on my heart.

Bandaged knee, bandaged heart, Matilda looked mournfully down at the bear beneath her soiled skirt. She picked it up and dusted it down, pulled the bear’s ears out and giggled.
Matt Boothman
The bandage wove around the neck of the bloodied, holding in the thoughts and woes he had and all of the time he couldn’t think of anything except the scream of the woman as she descended off the cliff into the river below. it was one of the worst moments of his life, how had he not seen it coming, the death of his wife?
Nick
death by infection of the colon, severe psuedocide on a grand scale, you can bandage the problem all you want, people dont want to be themselves they want to be someone else
CommodoreOfChaos
I am not thinking. I am not thinking about what I am thinking means. I am not thinking about a bandage stretched across skin, pulling the two sides around the cut together. I am not thinking about how you are doing the same to me. I am not thinking of pain, and I am not thinking of blood. I am not thinking. Not at all. I promise.
Lizz
Red. With black ninjas on it, flying through the air, ready to land a ferocious kick to their opponents. A box of 24 of them. with a toy ninja inside. What an interesting Christmas gift, baby. That’s so…thoughtful? Ninja bandages.
Heidi
The small girl whimpered as her mother applied the bright green bandage to her scraped knee, but couldn’t help but to smile when she was handed a spiderman-shaped popsicle.
Gina
Bandages heal cuts I guess. But do we need to heal them? Cuts must be exposed to air, and it makes them feel better. If we cover up our wounds, we make ourselves one big crevice.
Ben
The thing was difficult to get in place and the need was great. Curved half moon slice on big toe with a beet red flow. Did not hurt, just stung.
marc
i dont know
mike
When i think of a little brown bandaid covering my son’s first cut and think of all the cuts, tears, attacks, gouges, scrapes, bites, severances, stitches, scars, and rips he’ll endure over the course of his life I quake at how I’ll feel when I know.
Wigout
What acan you say about a bandage exccept its a temporary patch to cover up your boo boos. Its never as good a s a cure.
deva
i’ve always hated bandaids, and my parents have always wondered why. i’ll never tell them. it’s truly quite vain. the only reason i refuse to use them is because i always thought they looked weird.
Maud
No matter how many band-aids I offered you, it never seemed to change a thing. You never stopped bleeding and neither of us felt any better. I wish I could change that.
Alice
oh the bandage is coming off and its sticky and yellow and i can’t put in back on the blood has stopped and I’ve got to clean it again the bandage is gone and i’ve thrown it away. I could use another but we’ve run out and the store is too far away can you help me.
chris Fannin
how fast can i write random gibberish about bandaids in a minute? cut infection disease pain removal of fungus i love bandages because they really seriously honestly do help i fell this one time and the bandages were out here to come and save me it was really funny and i kind of thought so myself if i could not say. lol i love bandages this minute is almost over lol so im going to type as fast as i can lololololol
yang
rip it off fast
it is invigorating
unless it is a very complicated wound
then you must unwrap the bandage slowly with great tenderness
cherie blackfeather
peeling, peeling . . . jesus, this bandage is so long. Finally . .
Ugh. the bruise looks terrible.
my nail is coming off, damnit.
woody lincoln
cover up my cutz, make me invincible to the outside scum and germs that want to penetrate my wounds. stretch your protection over me over my insides out facing the world on the exterior of my gashes. study my ashes when i rock scars over axes with thrashes. heal my wounds, iodine, chillin in the…time is almost up, or is it? huh?
