The sky mimics Monet, painted dark blue with the northern lights scourging the sky with bright mystical colors. My eyes are wide open as I am pulled into this great wonder. Waves form as I walk. Each step I take, a dozen more emerge. They extend outward, touching everything in sight. I look around me and not a single soul is present. I scream out loud, and the echoes flood the plains. I am alone. Unwillingly, I found myself drowning in a room full of tears, my tears. The feeling of loneliness runs down my face and drips to the floor, already occupied by the tears of lost and regrets, my regrets that are burning through my soul.

The handle of the door saves me and the door slightly swings open. It starts to squeak, so I grab the knob. While picking pieces of my mind off the floor, I notice the mirror, half black and half lit from the reflection off the ground that's illuminated by the full moon, staring at me through my window. Slowly I open the door, concentrating on not making another squeak.
