Possessed Reflection?
(Entered for the "Nightmares" competition)
I stared at myself in the mirror
Like I always did
But this time -
This time the reflection staring back
at me was different
It was somewhat wicked
I leaned forward, closer to the
mirror to try to detect this hidden
difference
Just as I leaned in more,and more
And just a little bit more...
A sinister smile played on its lips
I jumped, swallowing my scream
as I didn't want to wake anyone
up
Only, there was no one to wake up
I was alone
In this big, dark spooky house
I ran to the other room
And there it greeted me
on yet another mirror
The sinister smile still
playing on its lips
Yet this time, its joints
were gradually dislocating
As it contorted demonically in
all directions
I couldn't escape
I suddenly found myself in
the mirror with this - this thing
I tried to close my
eyes
But its image was still fresh
in my mind
Replaying over and over and
over again
Like a scratched record
I tried to shatter the
mirror, but it was
indestructable
I swirled around and there
it was
Reaching out to grab me
And then...
