Floating Away
She walked by the bathroom again and, this time, without thinking, walked in, opened the medicine cabinet, took and swallowed a pill. She avoided the mirror. I can be two people at once, she told herself, as she walked out the front door, the pill inside her. Soon, she will turn to liquid, that other person, the world floating away.

Nice…I like the mirror and the liquid… both reflective… she wouldn't look at the mirror, but was ok going liquid. She really was two people.
I really like how this is written. You say a lot in very few words. *
Stark. But that's how it is. *
One of those crystallized moments micros are made for. Loved this.
Just.Like.That.
Amazing micro, Christian. *
The modern age in brief - "I can be two people at once"
That's the hammer and the nail. Good piece.
"She walked by the bathroom again and, this time, without thinking,"
One word--'again'--adds so much depth. *
Very fluid and full of mystery.
That pill comes in many forms.*
Thanks, everyone, for reading, your comments, and your faves!

An easy pill to swallow (I mean this story). Very fine.
*
Jeez. Good. And hard. Such a mood here in this tiny space. Killer last line.
*
Wonderful first sentence. And then the other three follow with it in kind.*
the pill is all space and time. *
Oh, boy. I know this female well.*
Thanks, Chris, Amanda, Bill, Michelle, Nonnie, Bud, and Joani!
