The voices had always been with her. She tried to tell there was more to her than met the eye but no one believed her. Oh, people responded in all the right places and assured her all was fine but she knew she was not alone. She was labeled odd, but no one offered to help free her from the voices.
The wrinkled lady at the open air flea market assured her the mirror was magic. Even if it wasn't, she knew the perfect spot in her home for this intriguing antique mirror.
Gently she unwrapped the mirror near the chosen spot in her room.
One glance into the mirror confirmed she was not crazy, the voices were real and now she had the proof.

Is this how it all began with the evil Queen in "Snow White". She was first sweet and beautiful and became self-obsessed.
A behind the scenes look ... kind of like "Wicked" is to Wizard of Oz? :)

Wow! Loved this .......
We all have those voices in our head that we carry from our childhood. Too bad we can't completely wash 'em away.
I did have a student who truly had 'voices' in his head along with many other problems. He'd yell sometimes, "no!!! I'm not gonna listen to you!
Self~perception....seems we never see ourselves as others do.
I had to giggle yesterday when I called my 82.5 year old mom and asked how she was doin'. She answered, "well, I'm still havin' some problems with wrinkles!" Heeehehehehe....at her age, I hope that's my biggest issue! :o)
Have a great one sweetie!!!
Wonderful write once again!
That's scary enough for me. I'm home all by myself. I do have to look in the mirror later. Goofball!
Great little story, and surely worth expanding to something longer.
Many wrinkled old ladies tend to be quite wise !, great image
A nifty tale!
Clever write - very impressed. I cannot imagine what it must be like to listen to the voices...
