The woman glanced back at me anxiously as if she was concerned the thought that she would care for me seemed utterly absurd. i stared in return and our eyes locked in to place. I wondered why she cared for me with those cuts on her own wrists and face. I could see her heart beating inside her chest, though wrapped in stone and compressed. I wondered who she was before her eyes became cold and her heart turned to stone. I started and finally could see; the woman locked in glass was really me.

The woman in the mirror
The woman glanced back at me anxiously as if she was concerned the thought that she would care for me seemed utterly absurd. i stared in return and our eyes locked in to place. I wondered why she cared for me with those cuts on her own wrists and face. I could see her heart beating inside her chest, though wrapped in stone and compressed. I wondered who she was before her eyes became cold and her heart turned to stone. I started and finally could see; the woman locked in glass was really me.
