The Rays of Power
The warrior gazed at the rays of light dancing on the lake. The heat radiating from the water, soaked into her naked arms. She heard the singing of the invaders. She looked for the attackers but couldn't find them. Dead animals floated by her. She wondered if she would be next. A shot of light struck the water. Sparks jumped towards her. She froze in what she thought was fear. When the sparks disappeared she tried to escape. She was shocked to discover she was now a statue. Her emotions were alive, but her body was her prison.

Broken Mirror
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. A middle aged lady looked back at me. Like me she had salt and pepper hair , but unlike me she seemed to glow. Her necklace said forever. She turned her head towards me and I saw her kiss a middle aged dark haired man. They kissed repeatedly. They seemed not to notice me. No man stood behind me. I was slightly shaken, was she apart of me? Was she who I could have been if I had made different choices. I finished getting ready, purposely avoiding all the mirrors in my apartment. It was supposed to be a good day, at least according to my date book, lunch at Roar with friends., taco Tuesday. I had a margarita with my tacos, trying to forget my morning. The people in my mirror were not present in our lunch party. I chatted mindlessly about movies and sports. I kept hoping that some one would suggest a date for me. I was meant to have a forever and a good looking man to kiss me. I went to the outing solo and left it solo.
