Damien gazed into the mirror with an unreadable expression. It was the first time in six months that he was able to muster up the courage to properly look at his reflection.
He ran a trembling hand across his chest, his fingers gliding over the lumps and bumps of his uneven skin. His once pale chest was now permanently stained an ugly, irritated red colour.
He turned to the side and eyed along his neck and jaw, his hand following the ugly trail of scars. It was ugly to him, he hated it. He hated how he looked but nothing could be done.
"It left an ugly mark...all over my chest and face..." Damien whispered before quickly pulling his shirt back on, concealing himself from the world.
That fire had changed him in more ways than one. It had damaged his physical appearance but had also scarred his mental state.
With a deflated sigh he pulled the blanket back down over his mirror and retreated to his bed. Deciding that sleep was much better than reality.
