crazy nightmarish scene, awesomely described, and yet it made me chuckle to think of beauty queens and their masks.. or those who hide behind false personas, finally having to face them and the trauma.. why i’m chuckling, i don’t know.. maybe I am a cracked mirror!
This was a philosophically beautiful romp about being who you are, because once the fakeness is stripped away, we may have already lost what we true are.
Quite an amazing story worthy of more 5 pencils, but that’s all ficly will allow.
" she calls in sick, and it’s convincing." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I had a laugh here because I couldn’t help but imagine how funny the phone conversation would be if she wasn’t convincing. And honestly, I didn’t think nightmare at all, but rather another place and time, a world with its own laws and perspectives. Undeniably awesome :) sweeet
I liked this, the jumpy sequence of events and the surfacing of suppressed emotions make it read like a bizarre dream. Also, I like the subtle things, like the use of a capital when you say ‘but Mirror has something to show her’.
Thank you, guys! :) I’m so glad this was well-received. It makes me very happy to see your thoughts and comments. It’s greatly appreciated that you all dropped a line!
I like the aspect that she almost can’t help herself and calls off sick to look in the mirror when that is exactly what got her in trouble to begin with! Will some never learn? And it’s great because it seems like a dream, yet still grounded in some sort of reality! Great feature!
o_o Oh, wow, thank you so much! I feel sorta bashful right now. xD Thanks again! I’m glad that I’ve gotten back into the habit of writing a ficlet or two. :)
