The Story Mirror — which story are you today?
Skip the forty-question quiz. The mirror matches your date of birth to the collection’s moods deterministically: your birth month sets the emotional register, your birth day picks the door. Same date, same story — the mirror never lies to flatter you.
What the twelve months hold
· January → a slow dread that warms up by the end
· February → a love story with teeth
· March → wind, warnings and a door left open
· April → rain that keeps a secret
· May → bloom and rot, neighbors
· June → long days, longer shadows
