This is a very powerful piece. I can identify with the sensation of wanting to be in the world of reflections so well, especially during my father's explosive manic rages, when he stomped around the house just looking for someone to meet his gaze so he could pick a fight. I'd push against the mirror on my child-sized dresser with my fingertips, hoping that the surface would ripple like water and I would somehow be able to climb through to Alice's world, not leaving a trace behind.
