I used to love looking in the mirror, I kept many of them in halls. Everyone around would tell me how striking I was, how beautiful and pleasant I seemed. I loved hearing it, until one day. I was waltzing with glee through the halls of the palace when I noticed a new mirror. This mirror was grand. Probably the largest in the palace. The mirror had ornate gold details and flourishes. It was sprinkled with jewels. Diamonds and emeralds danced as the sunlight reflected off of them. I thought to myself “Surely I must look into this mirror.” And look into I did.

as I gazed into the mirror my reflection morphed. Suddenly instead of seeing the face every deemed as beautiful, I saw a beastly creature staring back at me. Long curved horns and red skin adorned my devilish reflection. “So now you can see.” A hoarse voice came through the mirror.

“What is going on?” I asked in a panick.

“You should have never looked in this mirror for now you can see things as they truly are.” The hoarse voice spoke slowly.
