Ad Infinitum

by Razor To Rosary

The woman is very beautiful. The woman sees herself in the elevator mirror and thinks, “I am very beautiful.”

The digital numbers on the screen keep changing. 8, 9, 10. They stop. The elevator stops. The elevator doors open.

The woman walks with confidence, as beautiful women do. She walks along the corridor and it never seems to end and her impatience is growing.

But a halt she comes to. The number on the door is 3. The woman wonders but quickly dismisses any thoughts other than what she is going to find behind door number 3.

The card key is in her brassiere, it’s next to her heart. With one movement only the door is opened.

And lying on the bed, very white and very beautiful, is the woman’s lover. And the woman approaches him solemnly, she walks on her tiptoes, and gingerly bends over the man to examine his face, her hands behind her back.

“You are very beautiful,” she thinks.

A/N: Hello! This short little beauty (?) is the first part of a short story I'm writing. The next part is not ready yet and I'm not sure if it's even going to be posted here or not - I think this introduction is pretty much a stand alone piece. I didn't know where to place it, but thinking of the whole piece it was down to either Horror or Romance...

I just really wanted to get some thoughts on it. So any inquiries, opinions and critiques are much welcome and will be answered if so is requested.

Thank you!
