Gazing at the mirror in front of me, I saw only a beam of light being cast upon my very essence. Shadows made lonely company as they surrounded everything untouched by the rays of the sun. In the mirror there was this silly little thing called me with skin, hair and flesh. A small gleam glimmered in the middle of my brown irises when I looked around. This spark slowly faded away with the blink of an eye. Although this action took less than a second, I felt like it's been years. Regaining vision, the reflection inside the mirror changed... The person was taller and had facial hair. I stepped closer to see if it was truly me. Every time I moved, so did he, every time I stopped, so did he.
What's going on? Thoughts like that crossed my mind as I stood still and examined the mirror. Nothing seemed peculiar with it. Something was definitely strange in the very air that surrounded me. Occasionally, I felt my whole body being pumped with energy, sometimes positive, sometimes negative, the source being the inside of my rib cage.
Not too much 'time', if such thing exists there, has passed that it came again: the blinking. This action did not match the first one, as it took less than a second. When my sight reestablished, I noticed the mirror was no longer in front of me, but rather at my right. I spotted it with the corner of my eye. I turned towards it wondering how that was possible and how I could escape that place of uncertainty. Gazing once more in the mirror, the reflection was no longer a person I knew, but rather a dark silhouette, like a shadow. From behind him, two women came - I could tell by their clothes and long hair. One's face was smiling brightly and radiated of happiness and the other was basically the total opposite. They approached slowly, steadily, not to scare or startle him. The smiley face one embraced the shadow from behind while her companion placed a mask over his so called face. Right then, two crimson eyes and a mouth materialized in the holes of the disguise and the whole body started glowing in a bloody aura. The air was getting heavier to breathe. I was barely restraining myself from blinking, afraid something bad was going to happen if I were to do so. Silence emerged from nowhere and I was starting to get nervous, the only things audible were the sound of my heartbeats growing faster and the air gushing from my nostrils.
Suddenly, the woman released that thing from her brace and it started moving. He was increasing in size. Coming closer and closer, the mirror was just like a window between two rooms with him wanting to say "Hi, neighbor." A few more steps made, and he walked out of it, outside the mirror. I tried to move, to run from it, but my body did not respond. I attempted to scream for help and the same thing happened. In the meantime, it was getting closer step after step after step ...until it was standing right in front of me. Its hand reached my face, the moment those two made contact...I immediately woke up in my bed. Without realizing, I got up and my whole body was sweating. After a few seconds, I figured out it was just a dream and made a sound of relief.
"Damn, that was intense! Ha ha." I said, "Could use this for my new book. Oh my, it will be so good! I will have to thank Chuck for letting me stay here, I never get such dreams when I'm sleeping with Ariana."
Afterwards, I wiped off the sweat from my face with a napkin, placed next to the bed, and went back to sleep as the sun wasn't out yet. "Good night!"
