Is this correct and natural?
John fumbled for a clean cup in the cupboards. He shook his head, cursing under his breath as all the cups were coated with dust. He wanted to find a way to fill another barren afternoon, another empty night. He stumbled from the kitchen through the empty dining room to the living room. A mirror leaned against the center of the pale green wall [I mean it was not in the corner], surrounded by half-dirty pieces of cloth. He sat in front of the mirror layered with weeks of dust, reaching for a cloth to clean it. He started to rub the mirror half-heartedly, stopping every once in a while to stare at his reflection, holding an unfamiliar vacant stare. A faint clack of heels came from the hallway outside, getting louder and louder. Slowly, the cantors of a woman's body formed in the mirror, looming over him. John slowly pushed himself to his feet, gazing at the image of Nicole amid circles of dust left by the cloth. She reached for something in her purse. John felt metal digging into the skin of his neck. The last image he saw was her silver hair straggling down her shoulder. She pulled the trigger, splattering the mirror with his crimson blood. He dropped, sprawled out on the floor, blood seeping from his mouth. He didn't even whimper or twitch. Typical John.
