In My Desperate Time

In the afternoon, two Hollywood special effects makeup artists come to put on my makeup.

Because I haven't had a decent sleep for two days, I fall asleep when they do it.

It isn't until one of the makeup artists pats my shoulder and says I am all good that I open my eyes in a daze and look into the mirror.

For a moment, I don't dare to admit it.

Is the person in the mirror really me?

I never thought that I could look like a man.

My face is that of a white man, and even my pupils are green.

Moreover, this makeup is exquisite.

Even though I usually wear makeup, I am impressed by this work of art.

Maybe my mother wouldn't even recognize me.

I've learned a lot about the way men walk.

I can't think of anything that can go wrong on my side.

When I am ready, I go straight to Linda's house.
