Red Gauze
Colorless I stand limp against the wall. I feel the earth shake
lightly under my feet as wave after wave of dizzy spells
confuse my perceptions. A thin veil slowly rises up around me
causing a certain interference in emotional transmissions. The
haze closes is and congeals into a humanoid form made of folded
red gauze with enough layers to be almost opaque. It closes its
ruby eyes (with emerald green pupils - no doubt some form of a
lost magic) and steps into a ballet segment. The gauze trailing
after it in red spirals. Even when in the middle of a
pirouette, you can always feel those eyes beating down your
defense, seeking to make contact with the inner unprotected you,
Many dislike this feeling and therefore dislike the gauze man,
but some learn to enjoy the danger of it, or find sincere
pleasure in expressing their feelings to an almost random
stranger. Most though feel as the former and walk away with a
sense of personal violation that they can't put their fingers
on.
