Drabble Challenge #53

Prompt: through the looking glass

part 1 of the series: In the Soul of the Beholder


"Please don't tap the glass."

"Sorry." I let my finger drop. "Is this really someone's soul?"

"Yes."

"Do they all look like that?" I asked, as it stared up at me with large, mournful eyes.

"Pretty much."

"And I have one inside me right now?"

"Everyone does, or did. It's just slightly out of phase with our reality."

I shuddered. "And you'll remove it?"

"Painlessly, whenever you're ready."

"How do you feel?"

"Free of nagging doubts and guilt."

"Excellent. And what would you like us to do with this?" He held up my trembling soul.

"Kill it," I answered coldly.
