A Rival in the Glass

Rolling back inside from the porch, my tires gave a sharp squeak across the smooth floorboards until I spotted a fierce competitor staring right back at me! Another kart was posted up by the base of the full-length mirror, matching my stance bumper to bumper. I gripped the wheel tight and feinted a sudden swerve to the right—he cut right at the exact same split-second! I surged forward with a burst of speed until my bumper tapped gently against the cool surface. Clink! His front bumper met mine squarely. That's when I spotted the matching porch dust across his fenders. Just my own reflection looking race-ready!
