DECEMBER 2024 SUBMISSIONS

REFLECTIONS

Every reflection shows a distorted, sinister version of your own self, lurking in the darkness, waiting to break free and take your place in the real world. Your reflection’s smile doesn’t match yours, and it never fades. Shadows move independently in a mirror, revealing an alternate reality. Every mirror you encounter displays your reflection trapped in eternal torment.

This theme will be open for submissions from 1st DECEMBER and will close midnight 31st DECEMBER 2024 (last place on Earth). Submissions received outside of this timeframe will not be read.
