MIRROR, MIRROR
Prompt - Mirror, Mirror : What if your mirror started talking to you? What might the mirror say?
Hi, I've seen you before. Almost every day. And I see changes. Are they good or bad, these changes? That's for you to decide. I'm a neutral in this one. I just reflect what I have put before me.
The face is a bit more crumpled, a bit more lined, there are little blemishes I don't recall from a year or so ago. The last year has seen you look more like your age, although you might just about pass for less than sixty on a good day. Maybe. The hair and beard are greyer for sure, but you can carry that off. Still old though...
The body's done less well. Softer, flabbier, moobier. Recognisably an old man's body, it needs to be kept clothed for the outside world. Nobody wants to see that. But at least the gut looks flat. Ish. Well, compared to a lot of your peers it does.
But that's just the physical stuff. I can see deeper, I can see inside, and that's a kinder story. You look like a man who's finally comfortable with himself, who has accepted who he is and can live with that. It wasn't always that way, was it? That's a more recent development. Maybe that's why you could just about pass for sixty, eh?
