The Mirror

By John Page

You wake up. You’re thirsty and need to go to the bathroom. You get up to go to the bathroom.

You remember that you had an upsetting dream but not the details.

You reach the bathroom door and suddenly feel afraid. You can’t explain it so you ignore it.

You open the door and see someone. It’s a shadow but it’s facing you. You jump back but then laugh. It’s the mirror.

You go in and turn on the light. You look at the mirror. Your reflection looks off somehow:

It grins widely.

Your reflection jumps out at you.

You jump back and hit your head.

You suddenly wake up, thirsty and have to go to the bathroom. Your head really hurts.

You get to but your room looks off. Why are you in the bathroom?

You look and see your reflection waving at you.
