What We Saw

I looked in the mirror and saw the face of Edgar Allan Poe looking back at me.

I asked what he was doing there. Poe said the same thing at the same time.

Poe said, “Sir, I must ask that you exit my mirror at once!” I was simultaneously verbatim.

I stepped away from the mirror and stepped back in time with Poe.

We chimed, “This is a mystery upon mysteries.”

Just then my wife came into the bathroom and saw her reflection as Madam Curie. They both said, “Vous avez à me faire marcher!”*

* It’s French for, “You’ve got to be kidding me!”
