Everyone says I look like her. You have your mother’s hair. I get sick of hearing it. Sure, there are photos. But they’re not the same. It’s the faces you pull. The face I only ever get to see in a mirror. The face that looks like the face I’ll never get to see. It’s the way your lips twitch. It’s the way you squint your eyes. It’s the way you play with your chin when you’re upset.
There’s only one person who deserves to tell me we’re alike. But she died when my memories were just beginning to form.

Speaking of mirrors – check out the eBook on Amazon called ‘Mirrors: The Writing Workshop Anthology’ (you’ll see some familiar Friday Fictioneers authors in there)
In July this year I began my 100 book challenge, where I plan to read 100 classics in my lifetime.
See my recent reviews of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Brave New World and let me know what you think!
