The hot steam from the shower lingered. I wiped the palm of my hand across the mirror to clear the way for my all-too-familiar reflection. As I stared into the depths of my eyes, the medicine cabinet vibrated twice and the mirrored-glass door swung open hard enough that the mirror cracked when it contacted the wall. Prescription pill bottles dropped from the shelves. Lithium, Prozac…even the grand wizard Zoloft leaped from its perch. The holy trinity of meds lay in a broken pile. I grabbed the porcelain sink, assuming an earthquake was imminent.

I waited, breath held, for the oncoming shake, rattle, and roll. Nothing. Once my nerves had calmed, I returned the pills to the cabinet and closed the door. Through the spiderweb of cracks, I glared back from the mirror’s shattered reflection. “What the fuck?” I whispered. Some kernel of madness, tucked deep within my mind, expected a reply back from the man in the mirror.

All I got in return was that same blank stare that had tormented me for so long.

“You can’t do this.” My voice was soft and tremulous. “You’ll go on national television and fail.”

Tears welled and washed over my cheeks. “You’re done, Foster. It’s over.”

A notion sprang from my mind and was given the green light by my heart. I left the bathroom and ascended the stairs to the attic. Like a man without a soul or will of his own, I collected pen and paper to jot down a quick note.
