*The Revenant*, 1949, Andrew Wyeth
He came on the cabin one day, when he was out with his camera .
Stepped onto bare wooden floor, from the porch.
opened one door off the empty kitchen- and found the full length mirror.
He was startled by the damage he had done to his left eye-This was how
other people would see him- and it was horrible.
"I must get an eye patch- and soon!"
Then he snapped a picture for sketching purposes; and left.

Clever. Damnably clever! Like it a lot.
"Hell is the other people..."
It feels like an extract from a book I'd like to read. <3
nice...intriguing...would def loveto see this expanded upon...a patchwould be pretty cool though...

Clever intrigue shared well. Could be expanded into more of a story... sharing a bit of the patched eye.
A vignette to set us wondering...
Next, we'll fit him with a peg leg!!!
Intrigue! Nothing like a mirror.
You make it sound like this really happened.
Excellent perspective--very creative!
This is clever and fun! :-)
I really didn't notice his eye .... since it's a self portrait, I wonder what AW was trying to convey? Your Magpie is wonderful.
clever..
