Mirrors

I went along to join a new group recently
I may of misread the details though
What i thought was a writing group of sorts
As about a dozen of us turned up
Some looked a bit long in the tooth
And a bit pale, and actually quite goth-like
So i thought okay, i'm here now,
So decided to go along for the ride
They soon started talking about bats
Which sounded quite interesting
Especially about bats in the attic
And how 8uncomfortable they found it
I thought they were concerned at their plight
But it turned out i was seriously wrong with that assumption!
I realised this
When one of the group suddenly stood up
And right before my eyes
Turned into a bat!
This of course, was most disconcerting
Thus deciding to make a quick exit
I turned round for one last fleeting look
Partly to hope that they weren't giving chase
But also out of curiosity
I noticed that not one of them
Cast any reflection on the large mirror behind them!
I knew then. my fate was sealed
As i re-entered the room with great enthusiasm
Knowing that
I will never
Have to look into a mirror
Ever again!
