It all started after I saw my reflection blink.
Then all the mirrors seemed to lose their minds. They would show reflections of the room at the wrong time of the day. I would stand before the mirror in the sunny afternoon and see a darkened room full of moonlight and silence. The mirror downstairs showed my reflection as a child, screaming for my parents. The bathroom mirror was blank.
I smashed them all but they healed themselves.
I look in them now and I don’t recognise the person staring back, but it’s clear that he’s trying to get out.

Dear Sean,
Mirror mirror on the wall…I’ve always found mirrors a bit spooky. You’ve upped the ante on it. Well done.
Shalom,

Quite horrifying. The visual image of mirrors mending themselves… 😦

What an awesome take on the prompt! I love the idea of mirrors showing a different time of day. This week’s photo has inspired so many cool stories!

Quite creepy. You started with a used idea and expanded it and made it yours.

Wow, this is quite the creepy story. You should think about expanding it into a longer story. It’s a great premise.

Dear Sean, I can’t believe I figured out how to leave a reply – finally. I think your husband is quite handsome but he does look like an animal! Happy Marriage to you! Now, I like your stories and this one in particular because I have mirrors all over my house and enjoy them. I know Rochelle thinks they’re spooky – maybe a bit – but I like to see the “World of Reverse” through them. I love your story. Are you sure there is no odd ‘gas’ seeping up through the basement. Have a good week. Nan 🙂
