They touch. Fingertip to fingertip. Warm, living flesh against cold, smooth, glass. Their eyes lock and they are transfixed. Images of the mind's eye are revealed. A black hilltop against the purple sky of night. A blazing white moon creates a black silhouette. She is there. Crouched atop the hill. Her body naked, her heart and soul laid bare. She unfolds, stretching, arching, arms reaching for the night sky. Fingertips reaching for the moon. A low moaning escapes her lips. A howl, pain and rage combined. The sound of a tortured soul pierces the night.

The physical sensation of the scream rising in her throat dissolves the image before her into blackness. The mirror is cool against her forehead. Her throat aches from the restraint. Composure slowly returns. She lifts her head and looks upon her own face, a stranger in the mirror.

This is beautiful! Hauntingly so. Though I'm not even sure of what you're writing about, I enjoyed it.

This was very discriptive and has great potential. If you were to expand a story around this it could be amazing. (MHO)
