She looked in the mirror.
“Where did I go?” she whispered. “What happened to that beautiful, intelligent woman I use to be?”
The image returned her stare with the same look that she was feeling. Disappointed confusion.
You’ve got to be kidding, the answering thought persisted. I’m still here. You’ve just got me buried. Alive!

How can 55 words be so pull me in that I scream for more....
Crusty as I'm said before, you are the best story writer... more, more, more!
Sorry for the spelling....but you get my drift.... I love your style.
Crusty Crone eh?
You sure aren't crusty when it comes to writing.
Excellent 55 My Friend.
I hope you found this to be challenging and fun. Please join us again next Friday.
Have a Kick Ass Week-End...Galen
This is most intriguing...I want more and 55 words isn't enough!
Crusty...you are GooooD! First "55"? Awesome.
It's not fiction at all. It's what our minds say to us that rob us of our youth.
Very well said, CC.
Thanks for the visit and the comment on Jaded Heart's Magpie this week.
Love your post and you and I must have been riding the same wavelength...
here's a poem written back in April. Great "crusty" women must think alike. ;-)

Oh, yeah. The image in my mirror frequently says the same thing.
I'm pretty sure any of us with that "mom" badge or the 40+ badge have a time when we feel like this. Really strong stuff....way to go.
great 55. she is still there and if you look out of the corner of your eye you just might see her. smiles.
I have to agree that 55 words isn't enough...like where is the rest of this story at? lol
You are certainly gifted at writing stories for sure.
