Alice

Max stood still with a thunderstruck face in front of a big display window. He looked like he had seen a ghost. He walked closer to the window. His eyes were looking straight at the mannequin behind the big window glass. It was the mannequin with the light green dress.  He rubbed his eyes trying to figure out whether his eyes were playing tricks on him. He touched the glass as though he could actually touch the mannequin. He really wanted to touch the mannequin, he wanted to be sure that it was just a mannequin NOT a real person.

Not a real person he used to know and love.

The mannequin was a splitting image of his twin sister, Alice. Alice disappeared two years ago. The police couldn’t find her anywhere. Their parents had paid a private detective to find her and yet no good news ever reached their ears. They had given up hope in finding her.

But now...Max could have swore to God that mannequin standing cold in front of his eyes was Alice. It had the same baby blue eyes as Alice used to have. That pair of eyes were now looking terribly sad and lonely.

Could it be Alice, thought Max, but it was just a mannequin for God’s sake.
He couldn’t make his eyes shifted from the mannequin. He just stood there as still as the mannequin he was looking at. People who happened to pass through his standing point were looking at him in peculiar way. Max didn’t even notice those people. All his senses were focusing on the mannequin, hoping he could catch a small blink from its eyes.

Hours later, Max saw the eyes staring back at him. They stared right into his eyes, his blue eyes and its blue eyes had suddenly become one. At that moment, Max saw that the mannequin shed a tiny pair of tears. They made a sad path along its face.

“Alice?” Whispered Max, ”You’re Alice, right?”

“How could it be? Answer me, Alice! Please answer me!” begged Max.

The mannequin can only answer him with tears that would soon dry up.
