I knew i had done the right thing, but it gave me no pleasure...
Staring in the mirror, i was taken aback. I could only faintly recognise the stranger gazing straight back into my eyes. Recalling my youthful look years ago, the differences were distinct. I seemed to have aged past my time. A weary look hung on my face. Thin lines that appeared crinkled deeper whenever my cold face twitched. The harsh realities of life had taken its toll on me - both physically and mentally. Making my exit gingerly, i closed the toilet door gently behind me. Walking down the familiar dimly lit corridor, i headed towards the seats in the main lobby of the floor. My sense of smell was already numbed by the concentrated disinfectants. I slumped into one of the armchairs and threw my head back... ...sorry! to be continued, need to head down to the hospital now :)take care.
