a fringe in its most literal sense: the fraying edge of a piece of fabric. Remove one thread at the edge, and the fringe gets slightly longer; remove more threads, and the fabric’s surface starts to shrink. Pick at it for 10 years, pulling threads from wherever — at the edge, in the middle, maybe three-fourths away from the right-side border or five-sixths away from the left — and the structural integrity of the fabric weakens. Pull out certain threads that intersect at certain places, and a hole will emerge. Punch a hole in a weakened patch of the fabric, and the threads will snap.
How long does it take before it all falls apart?
