Sunday Shorts: Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the most narcissitic of them all? Why, it's our protagonist this week, of course. Our "hero" (are there any decent protagonists in these stories?) this time is Bonnie Sue Bowers, the world's most self obsessed life form. She apparently is her own biggest fan (not because she's a narcissist or anything, she's just her only fan), and has made a list of the top 5 best things about her. (disclaimer: the werewolf's new house does not accept any responsibility for mental or physical damage caused by this list)
  1. Thick wavy blonde hair (OK, that's a mild pass)
  2. Blue eyes to die for (well, I guess I'm after them)
  3. The sweetest button nose (What does that even mean?) 
  4. Baby soft skin (skin to match her brain, it would seem)
  5.  The straightest, whitest teeth. (insert your joke here, I suck at white people jokes)
Clearly, she's aspiring to work at watchmojo or buzzfeed. Or both. BSB reveals that she's not pretty anymore (anymore?), and it's all because of her reflection. Great job in assuring me that you're not mad, Bonnie! Keep it up! Apparently, one day her reflection got sick of Bonnie looking a her reflection. Yeah, I think that's the "you should stop" point there, lass. Reflection Bonnie (let's call her Einnob) starts rebelling, at one point reaching out and pinching our not-hero.

Eventually, Einnob climbs out of the mirror and tries to pull BSB in. Unfortunately, she fails (well, at least the world still has 77% of its love), because Bonnie smashes the mirror. Oh dear, that's 7 years bad luck; now she probably has to take over the blog. Look out for her review of  Monster Blood on Wednesday, now with 394% more Bonnie Sue Bowers compliments. Unfortunately, hundreds of Einnobs rise up from the bits of mirror. The apocalypse is here. Pack your bags, gang, we're moving to a new universe. Luckily, looks like Bonnie is good friends with Byron, because it seemed she borrowed his mirror, and she produces a pocket mirror and sucks all the evil Einnobs up.

A few days later, it seems Bonnie hasn't learned from anything ever, because she goes to try on hairstyles in the mirror.

If you guessed something along the lines of "there's another Einnob", then congratulations, you are smarter than Bonnie Sue Bowers. If you didn't, then you either didn't guess or you are too dumb to be alive and therefore I deem you a threat to civilisation. Einnob number 67.4 odd pulls BSB into the mirror, thus saving the world from her narcissism. Someone send Einnob a Rick and Morty boxset from me, she deserves it. So now, Bonnie spends her days trying to find a way to escape, especially because Einnob dresses like a slob. Somebody get me an armed security team that can guard that mirror around the clock.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall is pretty similar to Mr Teddy in terms of my opinion on it: bad, but unhateable. And that's mainly due to the fact that it's comedy gold. It doesn't hurt that we've got plenty of action after wednesday's review, either.
