If a mirror suddenly started speaking to me, I would (without a doubt) jump back in alarm, wondering why there is a complete stranger’s voice coming from inside my bathroom. Better yet, if I were in the middle of brushing my teeth as the voice of the mirror is speaking to me, I think I…… Continue reading Mirror, Mirror On The Wall…
This prompt originates from this list. Write about when you knew it was over. It was fourth grade and I was friends with a girl named Beatrice.
