Title: Alternate Dimension
Watanuki found himself cleaning again the treasure room at Yuuko´s shop.
Something shiny attracted his sight.
A small round jeweled mirror on top of a dusty shelf.
-This thing needs some serious cleaning- he said.
He took it and rubbed it with a damped cloth.
At the first glance of the mirror he started to immerse in a trance state.
His eyes in dazed expression.
He saw a vision. A small version of himself. Just when he was little.
He was wearing a dark school uniform.
–Mama, Papa!- the young kid exclaimed.
The silhouette of a beautiful slender and tall woman appeared.
Slim waist and long black and straight hair fell on her back.
– She looks just like Yuuko- thought Watanuki.
The woman directed a warm gaze towards the kid while she said
–you are going to be late for school if you don't hurry son-
Watanuki thought- this must be the "alternate" dimension Yuuko talked about.
It seems Yuuko is living a completely different lifestyle here- .
Watanuki kept watching.
-Darling, we are going to be late!-
-I'm coming! Said a male figure that emerged from the house.
Long straight hair as black as the night tied on on his back.
He had gentle face , round glasses and elegant trait.
They went inside a black car.
The driver set off.
The man hugged the boy all the way.
-I love you so much - he said.
He kissed him on his forehead.
The kid kept smiling at his father's embrace.
Suddenly the smile faded from his little innocent face.
Cold sweat. The pink color in his cheeks disappeared.
With trembling voice he managed to say: - Mommy, there is something in here…
A dark ghost-like shadow was creeping from the car tires.
A screeching sound. Yells. White noise. Just like if time had stopped.
Watanuki saw the terrifying and sad image of the couple lying embraced on their last breath.
They protected their young with their own bodies.
The kid, still alive, covered in his parent´s blood.
Remained unconscious in the middle of them.
ARRGGGHH! (there was a crashing sound, just like if something broke)
The present Watanuki screamed, curled in the floor.
Panting, sweating. All his body hurting. Urgh! He said as he tried to get up.
Yuko entered the treasure room, and as while holding Watanuki´s chin she said:
- Watching your other self might be a dangerous thing, since you both will feel the same way. – so that's why all my body is hurting-
-Im sorry- said Watanuki. I did something careless again.
AAHHHH! The mirror broke! (looking at the shattered pieces)
I´ll be working here forever!
Yeah. Most like it, Yuuko said with a smirk on her face.
