The Edge of Eternity
I slipped on my black dress, laced my black shoes, and stroked my eyelashes with a black mascara brush. I stared at myself in the mirror as my miserable, watery eyes blinked a couple times, pushing the tears down my face. I stretched my trembling hands to the highest shelf in the cupboard and fumbled for the box of tissues. I should not have put on that black mascara.
