Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Charles Suddeth

Gazing into a mirror in a dimly lit room while chanting “Bloody Mary” will cause her to appear. Fair warning.

Bloody Mary, please come to me,

Allow me your face to see.

For when you really do appear,

I shall not show a shadow of fear.

Bloody Mary, just what will you do?

To one such as me who keeps so true?

I shall stand my ground and never flee,

Demon woman, I shall vanquish thee.

Bloody Mary, to you I issue this dare,

Appear and I shall hurl you to your lair.

I shall laugh right in your awful face,

For I have the guts to stay with this race.

No, no go back, go—
