“Stay away from the mirror!” I was told again and again when I was a little girl. Something about that mirror just attracted me like a magnet. I don’t know why.
I spent most of my childhood and teenage years trying to get even the smallest glimpses into the mirror. The curiosity gnawed at me. What’s so special about this mirror?
Now, 33-years-old, my interest once again piqued as I come to clean out my family home. Step by step, I head toward it, like I’m being pulled by invisible arms. Before I know, I’m being hurled into the mirror.

Watch out for a grinning cat, a girl with long fair hair and a white rabbit with attitude. And don’t drink anything!
