“A Mirror's Guide to Self-Love” by Jessica B. Lowery

The Antique store held so much magic. Knick knacks, paintings, furniture that all were worn from use, filled with people’s energies and histories that end up here. Could I see unnatural stitching in a beloved toy when it had ripped? Is there a signature inside a book when someone wanted to claim the book theirs? If I scrape away paint from a table, would I find the hidden paint underneath? I love bits like that.

Submitted to Contest #199

(Note: There's a scene where a robbery occurs.) It’s not safe for a grown woman to be walking home by herself. I don’t have any choice in the matter, as my workplace is ten minutes away from my house and my car got repossessed because of some screwed up financial crap that happened, so I couldn’t make a payment on my car last month. I packed a whole bunch of self-defense tools in my purse. I had a good excuse to walk in a wonderful time in the evening with the full moon.
