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!

That kind of concern for appearance worries me – both for society and for the psyche of the individual. But at least she’s happy winning the arm of Lynnette for a day.

I 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!
