You = We Now

by T.J. Gallasch

You try to ignore us; believe you succeed. Splashing water across the bathroom mirror merely blurs our smile. Each puddle you splash in, each shop window you rush by. You don’t notice us getting closer.

You doze on the bus ride in; we creep and sneak, almost there. Twenty floors up is where your office is waiting. You catch the lift and suddenly we are all around you. Reaching for the kitchen knife you didn’t know we’d placed in your pocket, you grin because now it’s OUR turn to write the story. We guarantee it will be a fun one.
