    You’re 13, and you just got out of the hotel pool, trying to remember where your family’s hotel room is at. Dressed only in your swimsuit and maybe a towel, shivering from the air conditioning, leaving wet footprints behind on the low-pile carpet.

    Oooooh, we used to dream of living in a corridor. It would have been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish heap.

    OK, I’ll bite - how did you not get reflected in the mirror at the end of the hallway?

      I think I am very slightly, but it’s hard to see cause I wasn’t quite in the middle of the hallway so there’s a slight angle that I made less noticible by cropping the picture a little bit so the window would appear more central in the frame.
