Written By: Allyah Finish the Story - At the mall, you walk by a mannequin that looks just like you. Something odd is happening...

I’m wearing a pale-blue, floral miniskirt and white, sleeveless, deep v-neck today. I feel like I haven’t worn new clothes in forever. It’s refreshing. I’m wearing the same jewelry as yesterday, though. It can’t be helped but I don’t know why. I’ve spent so much time in this mall that I could paint the scene of where I stand. Unlike most days, however, something keeps catching my eye. As I stare through the glare of the glass, I swear what is looking back at me is changing shape into another version of me. I’ve never realized how unrealistically perfect I look but as the figure morphs into another, slower than molasses, I start to see imperfections.

“That’s weird. I thought I saw that mannequin move.”

“Ohh… spooky!” the girl teases.

“Oh, shut up! The outfit is cute, though.”

“Yeah, it’s very Spring-time. Let’s go. I’m cravin’ a pretzel.”
