Visualize by Christelle Xu

The bare tiles froze Sarah's toes, as she stood staring at herself. The blue glass reflected a haze of a self image she couldn't capture.

"Visualize" she thought, "Visualize and see yourself as you would like to be. See yourself."

She sighs and grabs the nearest towel, wraps herself up and steps into the hall.

A flickering bulb illuminates the dreary, creaky passageway.

She runs.

Her breath forms mists of fog as she struggles to keep her towel on.

The front door slams open and she runs outside into the sudden darkness. The rain is suspended in midair, the streets are deserted, frozen almost, in an impenetrable moment in time.
