Howdy Freewriters! Happy Wednesday! Welcome to my 5 Minute Freewrite blog.
On Sunday, I visited Ess, my bestfriend. She had promised to accompany me to the Man U game at this local club, just so she could rub it in my face if we lost, which we did anyway, hehe. That's a story for another day.
So, I was sitting on the couch and watched her carry her mirror near the window, for better lighting as she did her hair grooming. I watched her as we picked on fragments of conversation here and there. When she was done, she picked up the mirror to return it to its usual place.
As she did so, she muttered rather loudly, "mehn, one day I'll find this mirror smashed on the floor!" I was distracted when I asked her why she thought so. She pointed to the thread she uses for hanging the mirror and said it's becoming weak. Still, distracted, I said it looks pretty strong to me. My head was on the game..
The night went well despite having lost to Arsenal. We stayed a little extra listening and vibing to the live band before we called it a night. The mirror had completely left my mind until Monday, after work, when she texted me some crying emojis. Concerned I asked, whats up? Well, I bet you can also guess. One day, had come sooner than it should. She had gotten home and her mirror was there lying face down on the floor, too tired of standing on the wall.
She had jinxed her mirror and just like that, it had turned into a funny nightmare. Honestly, I couldn't help but laugh. It was sad but hilarious at the same time.
Thank you for reading ❤️.
