The mirror.

Hello. I am Margery Hemphlet. I created the mirror thousands of years ago. I am so sorry to everyone today reading this. The mirror was originally created to scare people from wondering what they look like.

When I showed my town my creation, they started looking at it all day long. So I decided to invent  acne. I was like, "Ha! They're not going to want to look at themselves now!" Boy was I wrong. Everyone looked at themselves more intensely for longer hours of the day than ever before, popping their sores or covering them with flesh colored plaster. They looked horrible, yet they could not help but be fascinated with their appearance.

One day, I decided enough was enough and I smashed all the mirrors in the town. From then on, everyone threw tomatos at me everyday for the rest of my life. At least I had a healthy red glow when I looked at myself in the shards of my creation. Hey! Don't judge me! Everyone turned their backs on me, I had the worst luck, and a hump the size of a seal on my neck. Myself was the only friend I could scrounge up after they all abandoned me. All I did was try to help them. I guess people want problems.
