HAI GAIS. Okay, so

The whole house swinging in the breeze, with wide, skittering floorboards and corridors that felt like the whole world was in them, and staircases that seemed to climb into the morning sky, and there were these two unmovable anchors - the portrait and the mirror - holding reality down.

And still resisting death.
And as he turns to go, he is sure he is imagining the flicker of life in the corner - where his own reflection must have caught the warp. He is sure he is imagining how he feels another life, pressing back against his own, fingerpad to fingerpad, across the barrier.
Isn't it amazing though to see the variety that you geniuses came up with for the same photo and characters?
