forty two

Feb 09, 2010 22:39

I saw a lady in the mirror. She wore a red dress with her hair done up just like the women in the movies. Her fingernails were painted the same color of her dress and shoes. She was a living picture with my face, only older of course.

But she was alone. I don't understand. She shouldn't have been. Not if she is me. What does that mean? People saw ( Read more... )

lipstick and nylons, uh oh, post curse, do not want, hmph, can it be worse?

Illusions mean only as much as you want them to.

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 06:47:17 UTC

I don't know what I want it to mean if it's meant to be something horrible.

caughtthebullet February 10 2010, 06:49:01 UTC

Then call it a curse and call it a day, nothing more.

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 06:52:43 UTC

That's the most reasonable. Thank you, Mr. Veidt. What good is being so--so troubled by something that's not real. That's like being upset by a nightmare.

I don't think we should believe the reflections.

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 06:48:20 UTC

Neither do I, Lu. I just--

It is silly.

lionesscouchant February 10 2010, 06:50:29 UTC

...do you want to talk about it?

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 06:54:18 UTC

I was so pretty and all alone, Lu. Other people were crazy or not themselves.

It was a curse. Try not to worry too much about it, if you can.

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 06:58:53 UTC

I'm trying. What's most troublesome is trying to figure out what it all means if it is supposed to be something bad. But..it is a curse.

I am getting too worried.

justdoingmyjob February 10 2010, 07:06:38 UTC

If it helps, I know what I saw wasn't true, so...there's a good chance what you saw isn't real enough to be worth worrying about either. Some of the things might have been, but not necessarily yours. Definitely not mine.

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 07:09:21 UTC

Yes, that does help.

You must have seen something awful then. I'm sorry that you had to.

Did she try to grab you?

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 07:21:38 UTC

No, she stared at me like she didn't see me or she saw through me.

idomore February 10 2010, 07:49:08 UTC

At least there's that.

I saw my lost lives, I think. Everyone's seeing different things.

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 07:54:34 UTC

Your lost lives?

Aren't you usually alone in a mirror?

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 07:40:55 UTC

Yes, but see she was not standing in the room that I was. And she was dressed for a party but there was no one there.

forexistence February 10 2010, 07:41:33 UTC

... Oh.

But don't take that a sign of anything. Maybe she just wanted to look good for everyone.

lionesssejant February 10 2010, 07:50:27 UTC

Maybe. Did you see anything?
