Fugue by Rob McClure Smith
You don’t recognize your own reflection in the mirror. Your expression is unfamiliar somehow, pale and hard. The rain has impressed streaks like glistening snail’s tracks on your cheeks, blotching mascara. Why so many lazy days lying in warm summer sand? Why the ruination of your complexion? There is skin cancer in your future, my dear. The mirror doesn’t care, frowning back, reversing everything.
