As you amble through the forest in early spring, the mist still weighing down like a wet, cold blanket, the leaves crunching like bones underfoot, you realize that this place has known pain. All winter long, it has suffered the terrible paralysis of ice and snow, only recently freed from its crystalline prison. Not too much further from where you are is a clearing, and in that clearing is a mirror. Everyone sees something different in the mirror, for the mirror reflects the vision it captures with absolute precision. When you look in the mirror, what do you see? The Mirror is a compilation of short stories and poetry by author Matt King. This is his first published work, completed in August 2017.
