She stands alone, staring at me through the glass. A shapeless dress
hangs to her scrawny knees. Her right hand is by her side, her left behind her
back. Sadness shines in her eyes as she slowly exposes it. Her bony fingers
clutch a long knife.
In one gradual movement, she draws it across her throat, blood smearing
the blade as it seeps from the wound.
Feeling a sharp sting at my own throat, I touch it. Thick, dark liquid stains my hand. My knees buckle and I crash forwards into the glass dividing us.
The mirror shatters around me.
