Morning Inspection

I scrambled out of my glove pod and marched straight down the hallway floor! Propped right against the wooden baseboard was a tall mirror resting on the floorboards! I skidded to a halt—another blue explorer was standing right in front of me! I raised my right arm to signal; he mirrored the salute at the exact same second! I leaned forward on my tiptoes, tilted my helmet, and tapped the cool glass with my plastic hand. Clack! No secret corridor, just my own twin grinning back with a gleaming gold planet on his chest! It wasn't a second astronaut—it was me, looking completely shipshape for the morning!
