Short Sloopers (Sad-Bloopers)

Her Eyes.

When she looks in the mirror, she sees nothing but an empty void behind coloured glass.

When you look in her eyes, you see a split second of the life that used to be.

Then it disappears.

And you let her walk away, because you blinked and didn't see the change take place. The change from improvised false happiness to the reality that is her eyes.
