I gazed into the glazed mirror, and to my suprise my own reflection just looked away saying I was ugly as a witch, very fat and getting gray hairs... Offended I said, now look here mirror, you
use to be quite mellow, I'm still a pretty, young woman... What's gotten into you today?218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHtxZRpwve
My reflection stared and218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkiCHHDsON
gleefully cried, why you're
an ugly pig of a woman, this you
cannot possibly deny...
Your belly is getting fat, round218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78HACME7t7
and soon you'll be shaking like a bowl of jelly.
If it gets any bigger I won't
know what to tell thee...
I said, mirror, please don't bawl, you're jealous because of being trap within these walls...218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvQCdLvDBW
I catch enough flack from jerks like you, forever putting me down cause they have nothing better to do!218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq1i9i1n3q
If you don't have anything good or positive to say, beware or I will paint you out of my life today...218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WkRnDgYfE
As I continued to argue with my reflection in the mirror, things took an unexpected turn.
Oh!218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpBA3sXohT
Suddenly, there was a loud crash as the mirror glass shattered and my reflection leaped out at me, taking on physical form. It stood before me, towering over me, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3ZG8zO1rJ
"You think yourself so clever," it sneered, "but you are but a pitiful creature, blind to your own flaws." I backed away, trying to find something, anything, that could defend myself against this entity.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0os2kog8n
But all I had was a broken piece of the mirror frame. The thing advanced upon me, its shadow stretching long and menacing across the floor. Just then, there came a knocking sound at the door.
Who would come visit me at such a late hour? I slowly opened the door to a dark stranger dressed in a trench coat. The visitor entered quickly, his eyes darting around quite nervously. He held out a small box, which he silently pressed into my hands.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNQTlNBavl
"Here, take this," he whispered urgently. "It will help you against whatever hideous creature this is!" With that, he fled the house. With trembling fingers, I opened the box to reveal a simple silver pocket watch engraved with the initials
'JR'.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvmRJt5uX5
And somehow, suddenly, I knew exactly how to defeat this dark entity standing before me. In one swift motion, I snapped open the watch and aimed it directly at the creature. Its eyes widened in shock as a blinding beam of light shot forth, illuminating the entire room.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs52uNioQSV
When the light had dissipated, the entity was gone. Frightened, exhausted and totally confused,
I collapsed onto the couch. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguAzQWkMJF
God!
How did I ever get myself into such a dire situation anyway?
Who would even believe me?
And exactly what was the secret behind the lifesaving, mysterious gift of the silver pocket watch from the stranger.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ionml9jKu
As I sat there pondering these questions, I heard a bizzare noise coming from outside my window. A cloaked figure was silently climbing up towards my apartment on a long rope made of twine. Whoever was climbing up seemed familiar but I couldn't exactly remember from where.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepbTKrrXqx
My heart was racing, but, I quickly snatched the box with the silver pocket watch and waited for the stranger to enter. I didn't know whether this person was friend or foe, but I was ready to do battle with whatever came next.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqj6JIwgBI
