I can see myself reflected on all sides as I hold onto the barré, my leg extended straight out to the side, my toes pointed towards the window on the left side of the room. Over and over I see my face, my arms, my hands. All my life there's been mirrors. Mirrors in the ballet studio, mirrors on the bathroom sink. The mirror on my bedroom wall. Wherever I go, I see myself -- pale, skinny, tired looking, but there. So of course, when it ended, it would have to be in front of a mirror. I locked eyes with a girl I did not know, a girl on the other side of the glass, as I pulled the blade hard across my wrist. I never took my eyes off of her as I swallowed the pills: one, two, three, four, five... I pressed my hand up against hers, hoping to feel some of the warmth of a friend against my hand, but it was smooth and cool. Just another mirror. Just another reflection of someone I don't know. So when it faded to black...the mirror was the last thing I saw. And I slipped away, until all it showed was emptiness. 2008-04-13T23:43:21Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/27446 <p>As usual, an emotional and well written entry from Someday!</p> <p>LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27446?basename=56121 2008-04-13T23:43:21Z Mistress Elsha Hawk http://ficlets.com/authors/mistress_elsha_hawk <p>wonderful piece!<br />=]</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/27446?basename=56075 2008-04-13T23:02:48Z One Time, One Chance http://ficlets.com/authors/one_chance <p>Wow that was beautifully written.
