One wall of the studio is one big mirror in which Peter could see the entire class, dancing away in four long rows. All are dressed identically and he is definitely one of them. Seemingly all of the older girls have their hair tied tightly in a bun. Whereas bunches are common on […]

  Something filled up inside of Janet. “Because I want to be a mother,” she told me. “I always have. It’s why I got into teaching. It’s why I got married.” Her voice rose a bit and she sat up straighter. She was getting a far off look in her eye. “I’ve been trying to […]

As they descended the stairs, Toby told himself that he’d avoid his reflection in the hallway mirror but his mother had other ideas. She drew him to a halt at the foot of the stairs and he had no option but to face himself. “It looks quite nice.” his mother claimed. “My legs look stupid.” […]

  Dante nodded. He wasn’t going to try to escape. Yet. He needed more information first, and some time to formulate a plan. Lysa gave him an odd look. Goddamn it, he needed to get a poker face. “Also,” she went on, building up steam, “you’re going to be forced into doing things that you […]

What are you doing?” She pushed him brusquely out of the way to see what he had been loading in her washer and said, “Theodore! You can’t wash the comforter like this! […]

When she was done, Bobby got up and she instinctually patted him on the bum. He turned and smiled, then fell in to her with a huge hug. “Thank you for understanding,” he said. Joan watched him leave the room and began to softly sob. About halfway through the movie, Bobby seemed to be nodding […]

  Brie gave in, and followed Jinny into the kitchen. Jinny was already sitting at the table; watching her expectantly. “Get a knife, a spoon, a pencil, and a bowl.” Brie got three of the items, but Jinny spotted a pencil by the phone. “I got the pencil. I’mma draw the face!” Jinny paused after […]

  “It’s a vile color.” Luke grumbled as he looked at his reflection in the tiny mirror. “It wouldn’t be so bad if was something natural.” he mused, thinking of the lipsticks his mother and sister wear; pale pink, subtle red or a light autumnal brown. “Well get used to it… it’s the only one […]
