88 Words

So the challenge is; create a mini story from only 88 words, no more, no less. Here's what I came up with....


Reflecting and imagining, I look into the mirror. Eyes too small, a bulbous nose, lips, and (ugh) ear flaps! What were those creatures called? Humans, yes, humans of Earth. How ugly they were. But even then they seemed so fragile, so helpless in their ignorance.

I turn from the hapless image then back again. There I am, the true me. Large black eyes, non-existent ears, small chin, large round head... I am considered beautiful by my peers.

My heart breaks though for those poor extinct creatures of Earth.
