Face it


Veena hummed a tune in front of the mirror, before bedtime. It was a new mirror they’d bought only that day.

She reached for her comb, but knocked down the cream. Drat.

As she bent, she looked up.  Her mirror image was staring down at her, craning its neck.

“All well?”

  14. MSM: Ha ha..ok. To bold the words, use the 'b' tag as shown below the comment box, when you click on 'Post a comment' here. For some weird reason, it didn't show the tags I typed earlier, because maybe there wasn't any word within it. I don't know how else to show you, other than maybe emailing that to you. Else, you could google on how to use the bold tag in HTML?

    hehehehehehehe sorry I don't mean to laugh. Infact I don't want to laugh because I always always knock the cream off when I reach for the comb.
    Thank you for telling me never to look at the mirror as pick up the cream.
    and on top of it "All well?" ante. Devare!!!!!!!!! well-e gathi!
