THE PATH OF OUR DEMISE
On the perilous path of my demise, the moody hoof of my loyal horse couldn't stop from hitting the ground, with the grace of an elephant walking on pieces of glasses. Nothing that could bother me, not with all the tics that made me swear or twitch every five seconds. I’d be nothing but a hypocrite from making fun of this poor beast, because at the end of the day, we are good companions, maybe the best match of this miserable history. He’s carrying my slender body from east to west, without complaining, and I'm genuinely grateful for it. But I’d be lying if I told you that he was my only companion during this journey. Not when from the corner of my eyes, I could see the reflection of someone who has always been by my side, way before Hervey the Horse. Where there should be a watch on my wrist, there was a fine piece of a mirror. It was as round as a luxury plate from our diner room, but little enough to be the size of a newborn mouse. That was enough for me to look at the reflection I was used to. Not mine, cause weirdly enough, I’d never really had one, but someone else’s, someone that I’d never really met . . .
