I reach up to the fogged double-glass, my hand placing itself on its cold, wet surface.
It moves in a sideways motion, revealing only a square jaw and a half-open mouth, gaping stupidly in surprise at the part of the mirror now clear.
The mouth closes with a snap. It droops at the edges a bit as the top part of the neck tenses and an Adam's apple scales the front of the neck. The mouth still frowns, but the lips unstick and the mouth opens slightly.
Then, the corners move back and up, opening the mouth and revealing two rows of slightly yellowed teeth barricading a pink cave, glistening with water.
A giant pink amoeba suddenly pokes from the space between the two aged, dirty walls. It quickly takes a peek into the sky before it darts back into its hiding place, as the lips mouth to me:
"Hello."
as my mouth utters the same.
