This Mirror is DEFINITELY Not a Mirror

by Madelyn, age 10, UK

I am Timmy Johnny Alfie Robert the thirty nine thousandth five hundred and sixty fifth and I an also a scuba diving evil wizard professor. I can see a mirror in a back room in my lair. I touch it and when I look into the mirror, my finger doesn’t touch its reflection. That’s weird. The mirror turns into ice cream and melts before I can lick it. It reveals a bright pink door. There is a sign on the door saying: come in here all you scuba diving professors. I go in and I start falling down, down, down... AHHHHHHHH! He he he.
