I leaf through a magazine with a cover story showing Latino couples at the beach--rocky points, sandy coves. Stylish couples, some sexy... but they all have weird eyes, just black-on-black blots. The result of a bad sharpening filter or poor printer's registration? Too slight to mar the big picture, but details come out wrong? Then why do I only see it in the eyes? Did someone deface (literally de-face!) every image carefully by hand? I think this wasn't a printing error, but human malice!

Creepy... no matter what caused it.

Wake baffled and repelled. What the hell did that mean?

LATER THAT DAY

I read Mirrorwood by Deva Fagan. There's a way to recognize the cursed double of the Mirrored Prince, otherwise identical to his regular self: his eyes are black-on-black blots.

Okay, now it's really creepy...
