I look ahead, down this long, cold, concrete passage filled with numerous men in crisp, clean suits. All I hear is the chaos of their voices running towards each other. I know what I have to do. I grasp the shiny, gold door knob, twist it open and walk through as the creaking door opens its way to an utter silence. I slam the door shut and walk slowly against the concrete floor, each step making its presence known. As I walk across this seemingly small empty room, I stand facing a man with a blank expression, attempting to ignore my existence.
This man leant over towards the steel, imbalanced table with his arms solidly crossed, legs securely fastened to the floor and eyes daggering into the opposing two sided, and shiny mirror directly across the room. I remain frozen while closely examining this unkept man. His red, tired and heavy eyes draw closer to the white nest of hair covering half of his burnt dried out and wrinkled face.

The mans shoes were missing revealing a single toe peeping out the hole on his grey cotton socks.
The man moves his arm from the securely crossed position and brings his dry, harsh hand towards his face and airily scratches towards the side closest to his eyes. He leans forward gradually and gazes over the pictures, his eyes start to soften, changing from anger to sadness. His eyes begin watering; the beautiful glistening of the water flooding between his eye lids till finally it falls over and races towards the corner of his nose. He quickly rushes to clear his pain and proceeded to blatantly stare through the mirror as though he could see the eyes staring back at him from the other side.
