Funny how times change. I used to walk by mirrors admiring that handsome devil I'd see. Now, I avoid any glance of disappointment. But "the frosting on the cake," so to speak, is that I'm a lot nicer person these days. LOL.
Thanks for sharing.

    Yes, I'm a goof. You can't pay much attention to anything I say. I'm seldom serious. And you keep me chuckling with everything you write. :-)

I like how you started the story with a question and the reference to being the evil twin of Snow White. I like the path the narrator takes through how she is feeling at the beginning and how she is feeling at the end, when she is granted the wish she has been asking for only to realize she doesn't want it.

Heh heh, what a good post, was only talking about this this morning, if I'm me, I know how to navigate this world, but if I was rich, famous, or incredibly attractive all of a sudden, I wouldn't know how to behave, it's better being obscure, beautifully written, great post, good luck, blessings Roy

Interesting piece of writing. The mirror almost gave her a dual personality.

Good conceptualization.

Good luck and great fortunes in the contest!

This is a very well expressed story with excellent descriptive detail, dialogue and pace. The main character is very likable (always a good thing) and the message of being true to oneself is a very commendable one. Well done for containing this in a well measured story form (some get a bit carried away!) Well done and good luck (my favourite) Debbie

('wrapping', not 'rapping'.)
This is an excellent piece of writing. I love the way you mix the world of fantasy and magic with a more mundane tone of everyday life for your protagonist. It works really well. Well done and good luck.

    Thank you so much for catching that mistake, sometimes I say something in my head it sounded good, but on paper, it's a different story:)

A very interesting entry in the "Mirror" competition. It should do quite well!
I hope someday that woman gazing in the mirror will find the love of her life. I am sure that woman does have external and internal beauty, even if she won't admit it.

Envy can destroy our self esteem and make us mean people and I saw it in action when I worked in an office. Did you mean, The Fortune (Teller) in your title? A fine post for the contest, much enjoyed, love Dolly x
