The Story of Alice, Epilogue.

Perhaps her idea of beauty was warped, but she thought the woman in the mirror was stunning.

But then, she wasn’t sure what she was looking at, really. All she knew for certain was that when she looked into the mirror, she could hear little whispers, soft promises.

All Alice needed to do was prove herself, and she could be beautiful, too.

If she proved herself, no one could make her feel stupid, or small, or worthless, ever again.

With each small step to showing that she could leave that useless person behind, Alice gave up a little humanity…but didn’t feel as though she’d lost a thing.

And that is how Alice’s story began.
