Description: When you’re alone with
your reflection, are you prepared for what you see? A prince in disguise? A
monster revealed? An alien race? Mirrors can be truth-tellers, wish-granters,
face-concealers, illusion-makers, even monster-summoners. Maybe the mirror
shows an evil twin, or an echo of the life that should have been. Or a portal
to another world. What happens when it shatters? Short stories (prose poems
will also be considered), to include a mix of fantasy, science fiction, horror,
magical, history, and romance elements. Classic or genre-bending, grim or
whimsical, as long as it is new and fresh. Must be appropriate for a “PG-13”
audience.
