Icy Reflection

Your reflection isn't what it seems.

Slowly appearing from the misty haze

A shadow appeared

Walking towards the frozen pond

Leaves crackled as the figure walked

A cloud of white air formed as the person exhaled

Reaching the pond

Looking over the see the reflection

On the icy surface

The person stared back

A chill rushed through the air

Looking over at the surroundings

No one there

Just this person

Breathing slowly

In and out

Colorful leaves danced in the air

The sky was cloudy

Not a sun in sight

Foggy morning

That person was me

I'm staring at the icy reflection

Dull eyes staring deep into my soul

Staring right back at me

Slowly, I turned and walked into the opposite direction

Cloudy sky

Welcome to London.

From the beginning it began with marvelous imagery and closed just the same. Very nicely written:)

This has a Grim-Reaper feel to it...then when I got to the last line, and London, I couldn't help but think of Jack The Ripper...there is definitely some ominous vibes coming from whoever this shadow belongs to, especially if it is one's own reflection...you did a great job of establishing a mood and ramping up the intensity as it went along...the imagery has a subtlety to it, but it only underlines that intensity in the mood...this one definitely captured my imagination...well done :)

There Is a certain spooky element to it yet so intimidating... Nice read.

This is so beautiful and haunting. It captures the emotion of feeling as if one is dissipating and becoming another shadow in an opaque world. There was one line that struck me as off so I want to mention that to you..Looking over the see the reflection...
