Years ago there was a Japanese girl who was very vain and spent all her time starting at her own reflection in her mirror which had been given to her as a present from her mother and the girl cherished it more than anything. It was her most prized possession. The girl was desperate to be beautiful and developed anorexia, starving herself to the point where she was painfully thin. As time went on her health got worse and worse but no matter how pale and ill she looked when she gazed into her mirror she saw herself as beautiful. One day she wanted to decorate her mirror so she painted it purple. When she looked into the glass she was disgusted. She no longer saw herself as beautiful she saw what she really looked like, a pale thin mess with bones protruding from her leathery skin. Horrified, she smashed the mirror to pieces but afterwards she had regretted what she had done.  On her 20th birthday, the girl was making preparations for her coming of age party when she was hit by a car and was killed. As she was dying, the last words on her lips where " purple mirror, purple mirror, purple mirror ." After her funeral when her parents searched her room, they couldn't find the purple mirror. Rumors about the girls spread around Japan. After her funeral some young people where found dead under mysterious circumstances. All of them died on their 20th birthday and no cause of death was ever found but in each case shards of purple glass were found in their bedrooms. Ever since that day, the words, purple mirror , have been cursed and it is believed that anyone who remembers the phrase 'purple mirror' by their 20th birthday will die.
