NIKOLI
As I gaze into the mirror secured to the old, wooden bedroom door, I concentrate on the reflection in front of me. My body is fairly large, toned to what some may think of as perfection. My blond hair is cropped short so I don't have to mess with it. I have tiny scars decorating different parts of my body; but they're small, so not bad. For the most part, I'd say I look pretty good.
My chest swells as I think of how my mother's kind eyes would look at me if she were here. I know she'd be very pleased with me-her strong boy. I'm no longer a small, scared little one, but a solid man.
