Now I Die
The fading sunlight feasts on Virginia’s freckles, as it still veils the stars to come—not for long. Done her little choreography, the dreamed thirteen-year-old makes a caravan, and stares. Dreaming 93-year-old Virginia has finally found her; stares back. There she is, eighty years before her demise. And she’s gone.

This is my entry into @jayna's Fifty-Word Challenge. You can read the rules here and you might want to participate.
The prompt for this week is "soul."
About this story
What would your soul look like if it was a person? I like to imagine mine is a hot brunette and a salsa dancer, but I guess it is more like a forty-year-old loner with a taste for strong beer and coffee and too many cats (hopefully enough wine). I also like to think my ego is in a safe place in between the extremes, but you can never tell when you have made your peace with the alien you are; then you are definitely biased.
Your soul is supposed to be that part of you which is pretty much your actual you: your character, thoughts, feelings, etc. In order to get my fingers typing, I imagined that (fictional) moment before I die. Would I see my real me, or this better version of myself I ever was while I was alive?
Thanks for reading.
