The writer’s carnival has posed a challenge:
Every character, every person, everybody has flaws. So the challenge is to show us one of your character’s flaws using no more than three sentences.
So here is my answer…
I stand and look in the mirror, not really seeing what’s there. You see, I know that I’m decent looking, but I see a monster; one eye is larger and lower than the other, my mouth twisted to one side and a pug nose. Except that it is a lie, a phantom created by my own mind to make me believe I am less than others, the reality is that I’m beautiful, I just can’t see it.
Excellent challenge! I may do more…
