Cut

She gasped slightly at the sensation and felt a single tear fall straight from her eye to her shirt without touching her cheek. Her hand trembled at the completion and a wave of cold passed through her as she dropped the knife onto the ground. She heard its metal vibrate against the tile floor and quiet as a small drop plopped onto the blade after running down her hand. She stared absently at the pool forming on her flesh, unaware of everything except its color and warmth as it grew. Her arm became numb and it fell to her side but her eyes did not follow.
It’s unclear how long she stood there but she snapped back into focus when she heard the front door open.
Time to clean up.
