I'll warn you, this is pointless... I've been writing by themes lately, and I came up with this for "mirror"... I read in a book about ghost-hunting that mirrors facing each other create an easier environment for ghosts to manifest, or something, so... this happened.
Lydia kept a hand-mirror on her dresser, mostly for fixing her makeup. Even at eleven, she had a steady hand for eyeliner and an artistic sense of eyeshadow, though she never touched blush.
The large mirror on the back of the dresser was tilted slightly downward, to enable the tiny girl to use it. Young Lydia never got the connection that the days when she left the handmirror face uo so the two relective surfaces created infinite images were also the days when she'd come home from school to find things moved and unbalanced and hidden in odd places all around her room.
But she was tidy enough not to blame her own forgetfulness, and she guessed what was happening more quickly than most her age would.
And it was on a day when the mirror-images met and the edges of ancient realms strained against their barriers when she, determined to discover the source of her haunting, set up a Oujia board and recieved an eleven-letter message that would change her life forever.
Maybe someday I'll write something with a plot...
Ciao, my Nietherworld friends!
