He hadn’t much cared for his body for a long while. It showed. He always avoided looking at the mirror on the way in and out of the shower.
It had been twenty years since he lost her. He had been young and fit then: an adoring acolyte.
There had been no explanation, only a void where she used to be, and more closet space than he knew what to do with. Together with the empty drawers, it mocked him until he could stare no longer.
A girl with a glorious smile opened his eyes. Organs tingled.
But the mirror laughed.
Never saw that coming!
Glad to surprise

Great work Perry! The ending is what really got me!
That’ll teach the guy to remove all the mirrors from his house! Nice job, Perry.
thank you
