About this ebook
In a world where narcissism is the norm and people interact with their mirrored-selves, Evy wakes up to find her reflection above her bed missing. In her place is an empty bed with rose pedals dotting the sheets.
This is only the beginning. With each missing reflection, Evy is driven over the edge, frightened and lost in a life without her reflections.
What's a narcissist to do?
When a stranger comes to her door, he offers to help her, but there are risks involved. He doesn't simply want her reflections. He wants to possess her, too.
A short story.
Includes complete bonus short story, "The Forgiving Execution."
