Reflection

She wondered whether she looked any different this morning. So she left the path through the woods and walked to the edge of the lake where she leaned out, hoping to see her reflection. But the lake was frozen and her reflection was only visible where her shadow lay upon the frozen surface and even then it was faint and insubstantial.

The almost invisible reflection made her think of vampires and she smiled and rubbed the sore spot on her neck.
