I loved the smearing of cream on the mirror - a form of witchcraft? Nicely done, a deft touch.

She is a master of tone, timing, and just-enough. Kaye Linden offers the perfect overlay of gentle humor when confronting, if not the unknowns, the disconcertings of the human condition.

Ms. Linden deals with a truth many of us must "face," and does so in a witty style. Well done! As other commenters have noted, a wonderful combination of horror and humor.

There is a nod to "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" here, but I like this better! Wonderfully succinct (yes, the result of much editing for such concision), and with a light touch . . . of the macabre!

In fact, I think I see a piece in my mind right now--something I should discard quickly, but my o my, it is bright and shiny. Yes, I think Ernest would have loved this piece.
