Catching sight of his visage in a mirror was a mild horror in itself.  A gaunt face peered at its reflection, while the latter eyed his double with contempt.  A sharp nose carved down the centre of his features, creating an arrogant, angular appearance.  Dark inverted smiles furrowed as he gazed into the calculating eyes of his intangible double.  His coppery curls tumbled greasily to his shoulders like viscera from an abdominal wound.

The mirage residing solitarily within the mirror used to gaze outwards with wonder, meeting the gaze of his originator with pleasure. When his creator drew his pallid face close to the glass, eager breath occasionally misting the surface, he would be observed with awe. The pleasant symmetry of his appearance was not detracted from by the majesty of his features, an essence of grandeur omnipresent in the curve of his jaw; the arch of each eyebrow comparable to the Gothic beauty of antique architectural design. Silken auburn strands tickled his shoulder, as he leaned gently inwards.
