The very chatty editorial discusses this zine, the history of this zine, the editor's impatience with the last two weeks of high school, his future plans as a journalist, requests about his love life, his admiration for specific bands and movies, his love of Dungeons and Dragons, his views on the current affairs in Iran and of President Carter, his background.... The editor also writes: "At the moment I'm feeling a little depressed about this zine. As of the moment I hand out all copies of thish, "Mirror, rorriM is officially dead. Nobody has indicated that they have the time, interest, energy, motivation, and most important, love to be the editor next year. Thus, this zine lasted one year -- 5 issues with a total of 110 pages. 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Amen.'"
