Always

I walked through yet another hall in this dilapidated house, wanting to get out.

I walked by a yet another mirror. Something made me stop and stare into it, just like last time

I saw myself, just me. Exactly as I expected. Suddenly bored, I looked at the ornately craved, wooden frame. I looked at it up and down, form the floor to the ceiling.

I touched the mirror, the surface rippled, just like liquid, just like before. I drew my hand away, some of the silvery and reflective liquid sticking to my hand.

I brushed it off and stared back into the mirror.

There was a fleeting moment that my reflection didn’t seem my own, just like before.

I was motionless, but my reflection winked at me, smiled, and beckoned my with a hand.

I grinned, and walked into the mirror, feeling the freezing liquid form around me perfectly, comfortably.

I breathed it in, seeing myself. As always. Just me.

As always.

    Whoa, cool fantasy sense, the part about about walking into the mirror. I like how you can almost feel it.

    I like the fantasy sense of walking into the mirror, and how you can practically feel what it’s like. Good descriptions.

    Cool, I think that would be awesome if you walked into a mirror. If you did would you be in the same place or a mirror of that place? hmm…

    Love the fantasy feel, yet I’m left wondering about the house, the use of always, like before. How many times has the protagonist walked through mirrors? Are there different lands behind each one?
    Imaginative entry!
