this morning the snow didn't look real. my mom looked out the window and began talking about the pollution and whatnot, but when i got up to look, i understood what it was. the snow was falling over the rising sun, which made it look like tiny crystals falling from the sky. like someone was standing on top of the building in which i live and grating silver. the beginning of the snow queen is so beautiful, the part about the mirror. the elves, or maybe goblins, some creatures who lived above the earth had a mirror that could look at anything, no matter how beautiful and reflect it as something ugly and evil. this mirror was dashed to thousands of pieces which fell to earth. many were lost in the snow, but occasionally a minute shard would lodge in someone's eye. he or she would feel a tiny prick and then nothing, and nothing would be visible as it was so minute. but it would be there, and as time went on, it would make things slowly turn ugly and evil, and make the bearer unable to see the beauty in the world. it looked like these shards were falling this morning. it must have been beautiful when that mirror broke. it happened over scandanavia, so swedes beware. merry christmas, to those of you who celebrate the holiday. xox megan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
