Experience Halloween Flash Fiction Prompt: Shine a light on one simple truth

In these modern and enlightened times, we say to each other, with righteousness oozing from every pore in our bodies, “Evil isn’t ugly, and Good is not necessarily beautiful. You can’t judge these things by their appearances.”

But there are times, like right now at this very moment, when that train of thought jumps the tracks and slams into a building full of people and puppies and unicorns.

When I look in the mirror, or I catch my reflection in a window or a mud puddle, I can safely say that sometimes what you see is exactly what you get.
