The Mirror Box Effect

Set in 1930's America, this story revolves around a young girl who is struggling with her parents' separation. Her father is finally finished traveling the world, but upon returning from his last trip her mother suddenly becomes detached from him. Neither parent speaks to the other, and the little girl finds herself stuck in an awkward position between the two. As the year passes, the girl's mother begins seeing someone new, and from there things begin to unravel for the girl in ways that she couldn't have imagined.

This is somewhat of a mystery short story that I began writing as a teenager. It's taken a few years to get it written out, but it's a relief to finally have it published somewhere.
