The Mirror's Secret

There's a problem that I need to get away from and I just inherited a distant relative's old house. The place is in a small town in the middle of nowhere, which is a huge change for me. It needs a lot work and will offer me the perfect opportunity to help me forget my issues.

The only trouble may be the mirror. It gives me this odd feeling. But if I can forget about it and concentrate on fixing up the place, maybe I can get my new beginning. I just have to ignore the mirror.
