Short story: “The Man in the Mirror” (2018) by Mark Hastings

The complete short story “The Man in the Mirror” from Mark’s 2018 short-story collection, ‘Playing God’, about a washed-up rock star, called Paul, who finds himself staring at his own reflection, as well as being given a glimpse into the extraordinary history and former identity of the mysterious “Man in White” whose reflection gives an insight into who he is, who he was, and why he does what he does – at the same time helping Paul to realise that he has more to live for than he knows. ‘Playing God’ is a collection of “Seven stories… Seven perspectives… Seven experiences… about One Man in Black, one Man in White… Seven morality tales of one immortal Rebel, Hero, Friend, Fan, Father, Son, Playing, God”.
