Reflection

I was always a curious girl since I was little and a very sick one too. Sometimes my curiosity would get me in trouble but I never thought it would lead to this. I’ve never been outside, not because of my sickness.  It's because of my face, I was "not normal" as my mom would say. I would always find the answer to everything I asked myself except one question. I wonder what was behind the door? I just had to do it, I had to go outside to say hi to the passing girls but when they saw me they screamed. It was a rainy day and I saw a puddle I looked down and saw my reflection for the first time ever.

  1. Mai,
    Thank you for your piece. The narrator reminded me a bit of Auggie from Palacio's Wonder. Are you familiar with that author's work?
    Keep writing.

  3. I was thinking the same thing as Mrs .G. and was going to ask you the same thing. I also loved the way you used the prompt it was very different.
