Sue looked into the mirror, complacent to see the daily vision greeting her. If she only made an effort she thought, a little output, a little paint on those tired lips and cheeks, maybe a dash of the radical, such as that gold flecked eyeshadow her daughter used. She decided she would try it, and carefully applied some makeup. At the office she received mostly stares, so she must have done something wrong. She then checked the restroom mirror to find the mascara had flaked and caused blackish rings under her eyes. It made the other makeup appear ghoulish and she stripped it all off and went back to her cubicle. At lunch there were no more stares and thankfully no one was laughing. Sue decided she was indeed too old to change.
