I hit her with the full force of my glare, but she just glares right back. Her eyes are too dark, not dark brown like everyone else’s, but like the empty black of a place light can’t live. Too late, I realize it’s a trap. Those eyes are tar, and I’m sure even if I tried to look away I would be held in them. Maybe it’s just the stripes on her face. They make her appear otherworldly so my eyes are playing tricks. Just a trick…but I still can’t look away.
