local queer disaster pack of critters | ΘΔ &
mid 20s


a creature trying to look at itself in the mirror.

it knows how they work, half-remembered mentions of light and refractsomethings. what's in front of it should be visible in the mirror. so it expects to see its paws against the soft carpet, the waves of fur across its body, its eyes and muzzle twinned in front of it.

all it sees is confusing. tree trunks of legs connected to alien flats, clammy skin, a "face" like clay smoshed over what should be there. it's... maybe not detestable, per se, but in no way reflective of what should be there.

and yet everyone around the creature insisted that this farce was all the creature was, all it could possibly be.
