| It had been a long year . The old lady stood before her bathroom miror. The cold yellow light made her features seem al the more old and withered.Her reflection stared back with the same dull expressionless look of old age . but slowly the mirror image began to change as the old lady turned away back towards her bed room. The lights were off the withered woman ow lay in bed beneath thick comforters sewed by her very own hands.The image in the bathroom mirror soured its face distorted as it began to cough retchedly.Harder still, the womans slithe frame shook from with in the mirror. Slowly the dry old mouth opened and dark black fogg seaped from with in the womans frame and out of the mirror slowly filling the bathroom. The woman rolled over in her bed as she felt a wait on her foot. Her only companion Snowflake was long dead and her husband never was. Her ld gray eyes opened ont odarkness , instinctively the old hand shot under her pillow felling for the cold blade of her knife. nothing was there but the silky cool feeling of cotton. She tried to sit up but the wait on her lfoot slowly crept up her body pinning her down. Suddenly the darkness cleared and a face ,her very own face appeared before her. Fear was nothing to a woman expecting death but the weak scream came any ways and tried desperaely to be heard through stitched lips. The darkness drew away from the being sitting over the old lady.Its face a direct reflection of her own the body sack like with long threads being drawn from loose skin below the belly to curve of her shoulder blade. Up and down the hand drew the kned;e along its own body piercing the flesh repeadly lacing it like a boot. The hand stoped and another apeared ,with in its grasp the cold silver blade from beneath the womans pillow. The blank eyes flashed in the light of the blade the old mouth of the intruder slowly crept up into a satanic smile as the cold blade decended. Some where far away teliscope relays an image of the earth. Its usual swirl of of cool colors blues and whites sweeping over the land masses. Some where far below a little black dot appeares on the picture.it slowly spreads and widens until it can be seen as a wide circle over canada then eventualy spreading..... This was a dream i had last week .It literaly scared the piss out of me..Sorry i took so long to post it but i have just over came my fear of mirrors (by covering all the ones in my house) and reflexive surfaces ...I dont know if its as posible as Shadow but i truely hope not iam paranoid enough already and i dont need my reflexion after me as well. |
