I've joined Red Room. There's a contest going on over there - two days to write a short story. I met the challenge and posted my story - "Mirrors Don't Lie". So check it out - it's my #fridayflash. Please leave a comment on the story - I'd like to know what you think!

ReplyDeleteI loved it.. I got it right away that it was a multiple personality... and I've never seen it shown this way before. Very effective, very creative and very interesting way of showing it!
