mirrors lie

Mirrors lie.
Your eyes do, too, turning everything topsy-turvy to show you something you can work with, something you can navigate, not necessarily something true. Sometimes you only see what you expect. Sometimes you only see what you want to see.
Nothing moved in the room, but the headlights of car flashed briefly though the window.
The streak you saw go by on your right wasn’t the cat, just a floater or defect in your eye itself, maybe your own hair caught floating on the frames of your glasses.
The face you think you see in the mirror isn’t yours at all but a picture of someone you never knew, someone who died six months ago.
Maybe you were never there at all.
People can be made of lies, can be nothing but stories told to themselves, to you, to the universe.
The internet lies all the time.
If you don't see the man, we can't be friends.

Recently, I have been drawing isometric designs. I like adding flowers to them for "doodles on doodles". It's just fun :)
Here's some earlier stuff that didn't have flowers or swirls
Illusions
1) Illusion called Uncanny Valley, human replicas appearing abnormal: “A prominent portrait places a perfectly pollarded pate precautiously atop a plate.”
2) Motion Illusion, it looks like its spinning. “Mister Monocles’ misconception might emerge from mechanically moving mystification. Many manufacturers mention his marginal muttered malakeys in multiple magazines.”
3) Anamorphosis Illusion, when viewed from a certain angle the Anteater appears 3-Dimensional. “Anxious Ants all applaude after an amazing audition arranged by an awfully ahungered Anteater.”
