“Mirror on The Wall” by Kwimbz Phiri

Ben almost committed involuntary suicide as his head crashed into the wall. Fortunately he was not running at full speed and the gods saw it fit to bestow him another chance at life through their mercy. He had buttoned his shirt almost all the way to the top in attempt to wear it quickly like a tshirt. He scowled and cursed himself for a failed attempt at exiting the door and putting on a shirt at the same time. He took a step back and forced his favourite short sleeved, sky blue shirt down with a jump. Soon as his feet touched the ground hi...

Submitted to Contest #70

She steeled herself as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Dark brown eyes that could pierce through an angel's soul stared back at her. She smoothed down her dress with her hands making sure it was airtight on her body. It was an immaculate black Jean Paul Gautier dress. No one would miss her hour glass silhouette or her glowing skin visible through the slit that nearly went all the way up to her bottom. She topped it all off with an emerald necklace encrusted with diamonds fit for royalty and a pair of green 6 inch Jimmy Choo stilet...
