Face to Face
The mirror is the worst way to confront what he’s become. But he needs it.
So many years. A little personal life, if any. He remembers her holding him, catching him before he falls. Since she left, he doesn’t have a shelter. He’s drifting away. There’s no hope.
His reflection is a sign of how much he’s lost. The scars of her absence are there, in the little wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, in the way his lips tense when he realizes he works for everyone to be happy, except himself.
Fighting a memory isn’t easy. But hiding the marks it’s left, the ones that means she did a number on him, is impossible.
He manages to forget about her most of the time, thanks to his job. But as soon as action and adrenaline are over, her figure appears inside her head and hunts its prey mercilessly - the mind of a broken-hearted man.
Greg splashes his face with water and takes one last look at the mirror. He knows exactly what’s going on inside his heart.
He’ll never find someone like her, and he’d rather be alone than being with the ghost of a long lost love.
The End.
