The complete opposite inside a mirror.3 total reviews
Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the story. It is true sometimes, people want to see the true themselves in the mirror, but they cannot. You have to find a quiet place, reflect on your their own self and find out who they really are.
The mirror will drive Hank crazy.
Thanks for sharing.

I found your story interesting about the mirror image. You pose some thought-provoking questions regarding life on the other side. I like the way you described the mirror mimicking everything the other person does. Great job!

Comment from Jay Squires
The basic fictional premise is sound: Having a mirror that copies reality, except in reverse (which wasn't clearly explained, however). The basic problem I saw plot-wise, was that nothing significant happened. There was no major problem for Hank to overcome. His life, or his sanity, wasn't really threatened. No one really cared for Hank's outcome, because there was no outcome.
The reader needs to identify with the protagonist and share in his/her battle to overcome larger-than-life obstacles and come out stronger, or at least somehow changed in the end.
Of course, I realize that's a mighty tall order when keeping the story to 250 words. So ... good luck in the contest.
