He is the Girl”
“Where is my little girl?” the woman desperately asks.
“Dead.” the child replies in a staid manner, wearing a mask.
The woman drops to her knees, wailing, as she reminisces about the old days.
What had happened to her sweet child, to leave her in such a haze?
The child steps away from his wailing mother...
walking faster and faster away from the other.
Rushing into the bathroom, frantically grabbing the door.
He gazes into the broken mirror to see the fragments of the girl who is no more.
