Wow. This awesome stuff. An excellent read.

Well-written and true. The quilt metaphor works, and the mirror does an eerily good job of reminding us of the secrets we keep—it’s relatable, but uncomfortably so. Any ficlet that can stir up that emotion is a good one.

Excellent work. Nice use of metaphor.

wow, I absolutely LOVE the lies are like a quilt quote! I could write a book on that!

You should, Elsha, I’d like to read it =]

oh I have an idea, and this fits so well, it may be the lynchpin that I needed to make it come to fruition. :)

I’m fascinated now. What is this idea?

I’m not sure what the last line means, or what purpose it serves in the story. A story about abuse is always going to have weight, and the mirror’s perspective is interesting, but the last line feels out of place.

I’m impressed at how this story changes and blends. You start by using the mirror as a third party personality to ultimately becoming an extension of the main character. Great quilt simile. Wonderful job!
