Mystify

The last strains of sunlight lingered in the corners, grasping every available point of refraction.  She slid her fingertips along the glass wondering if this was all there ever was. Or could be.

She tossed two smooth capsules into her mouth. A swig of whiskey washed them down her throat.

“Misty on the main stage!” 

She took the cue, leaving part of herself at the glass.
