Mirror

She comes home after a night out. Walks up the stairs to her room where she grabs a oversized shirt and boxers. Into the bathroom she goes to wash off the night. First her eyes and then her whole face. She lifts her head from the sink to look in the mirror now seeing the pale and dark eyed woman she covered up all night. It's almost scary how cosmetics can cover up not only how a person looks, but how they feel. Distant eyes, dark circles underneath them, and pale skin that brings out the ghost inside.

This is my first submission. Not exactly a story, I don't know what to call it, it's more of a snippet of something bigger.
