My first apartment

was in a bad neighborhood.

The apartment was small

and rat infested.

 

The mirror in my

bedroom had a

dark shadowy spot

in the corner.

 

It looked creepy but

I told myself to ignore it.

But sometimes I swear

the shadow pulsated

like it was breathing.

 

When my lease ran out

I moved to a great neighborhood.

My apartment was modern,

roomy and airy.

 

The apartment was perfect.

Except for one little flaw.

The mirror in my bedroom

had a dark shadowy spot

that pulsated like

it was breathing.
