Faces | Katy Nielson
1. Slowly a tongue peeped out between slightly parted lips. As it drew back into her mouth the upper lip followed, pulled light over the same teeth that held it firmly in place.
2. The bottom lip clenched in between teeth, as the eyes furrowed in concentration.
3. One eye closes the muscles around it bunching, as the head is tilted slowly, stretching muscles along the neck. Slowly the other eye closes, the head tilts forward, then sinks back into place.
4. The mouth opens, and the eyes close. They seem to parallel each other as the yawn grows deeper and deeper, deforming the features into a grotesque caricature.
5. She looks at her hand, a small smile lighting her face, though her lips are only slightly curved upward. She neither hears nor sees anything around her.
6. The eyes grow round and wide. Lips draw together and open slightly, but only for a moment, then sunshine breaks from the face that a moment before was dull.
7. One eyebrow raises, though the rest stays the same. The eyes light with derision, but they mouth turns up slightly.
8. His jaw just slightly. Lips parted his teeth bared, he looks forward toward the speaker.
9. Nostrils flare slightly as she sniffs. She raises a hand to wipe her nose gently.
10. Eyes unfocused, staring blankly straight ahead. What is before them doesn’t matter, it is unseen.
11. The corner of her mouth is turned down. Her jaw moves rhythmically up and down. She gazes expressionless at the ceiling, her eyes moving back and forth as her jaw continues to move. Slowly all movement stops. She looks down slowly at her hands. Again she begins chewing.
