Itll be a drag the day I wont be able to look back into your face 


he was talking to himselfhis face in the bathroom mirror

he was washing his hands after using the pot and drying themrehanging the handtowel on the hook beside the doorjamb and in his peripheral vision he caught a glimpse of his reflection in the mirror 

he turned and faced it Wha Can I help you Yagot something to say to meyagot my attention  my attention   Wha  he usually didnt pay attention to his reflectiononly using the mirror while he shaved so he didnt cut his throat with the straight razor his father left him


his Wha hung in the air 
                         no response not unexpected

he flipped the lightswitch off the mirror reflected his dark form  
                                                                  watching it he said Now for the fun Lets see if you turn when I turn on rare occasions it didntit dug its heels in an let him walk off without it Punk

evidently they were dancing tonight  when he turned his reflection turned they went into the hallway together  he could have stopped outside the doorpeeked around the jambsee if his darkened self peeked back  he didnt
