Cuittle - #awordeveryday

She dawdled up her way to work, and as everyday routine demanded, she entered the washroom to freshen up. She walked in, washed her face, wiped it clean, took out her make-up box, and walked to the tall mirror. She stood in front of the mirror, utterly confused. She could not see herself! She stood there in shock not understanding the turn of events happening around her. What was wrong with the mirror? She could see the mirror, but the mirror was only reflecting the newly painted, lavender wall behind her.

She cuittled herself into believing she wasn't a ghost, and started talking very quickly to herself, "No Smitha, this is just a sign for to stop watching horror movies at night. You are probably imagining this!"

As she continued mumbling, a colleague strolled in. She acknowledged Smitha, greeted her, checked herself out in the mirror, and walked out. Smitha watched in utter shock. She washed her face and tried appearing in front of the mirror again. Nope, still couldn't find herself. Not even a trace.

This started driving her crazy and she started yelling at the lifeless mirror.

"SHUT UP, SMITHA, SHUT UP!" shouted a voice. It was her husband, Guru, who had woken her up because she was sleep-shouting. She woke up with a jolt, but promptly jumped out of bed and made sure to get a clear glimpse of herself in front of the mirror.
