Getting stitches is no big deal in the scheme of things, but I am here to tell you, putting the stitches in yourself...
is no picnic.
Yes, Father?
The only place that works for that is right here in the entryway.
The mirror hangs on a blank space of wall just inside the double front doors opposite the coat closet.
Oblong, four and a half feet long, bound in an elaborately wrought wooden frame that seems to have the unique superpower of repelling dust.
This mirror is one of several objects in the house that I assiduously avoid whenever possible.
This family artifact, like the grandfather clock farther in, is as old as the house itself, yet it's always looked brand new.
There is no member of the family, nor, if you went back far enough, any visitor whose reflection has not been cast back by that mirror.
It's the only place where I can still see Father as I remember him when he was alive.
It's the only place where Father can see anything.
And he needs someone to be standing in front of the mirror for the trick to work.
Father, please, there isn't enough time.
I check my watch.
He's actually right.
It's still only 3.22.
We'd gone through this drill pretty recently.
Father, too, has a selective memory.
Nevertheless, I dutifully turn to the mirror and stand before it.
At first, I see only myself, a tall, pale man at the end of his thirties, sunken eyes and sunken cheeks.
