Living in the Past

by Ogden

Why do I
in my mirror see...a surprised old man
staring at me?

Writing Prompt
Here is a chance to get to know some of your fellow Fanstorians! Who's brave enough to use satire or irony against yourself? Use 17 syllables OR LESS, as long as it follows a short/long/short format (defined by counting syllables).


I really don't pay much attention to my face in the mirror. I brush my teeth, wash, comb, and when I do notice my face, it's not the familiar one that I forget doesn't look that way anymore. It looks all right, maybe even better than the real me, but not like ME, to me. I still get caught off guard (not as much as the twit in the illustration, but I do stare).
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
