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?468Please respect copyright.PENANAjnKSVeU1rq
My reflection stared and468Please respect copyright.PENANATM2ppS2p91
gleefully cried, why you're
an ugly pig of a woman, this you
cannot possibly deny...
Your belly is getting fat, round468Please respect copyright.PENANA018jBxKxAe
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...468Please respect copyright.PENANAYrBpqjY56J
I catch enough flack from jerks like you, forever putting me down cause they have nothing better to do!468Please respect copyright.PENANARR8Q7Wa2j0
If you don't have anything good or positive to say, beware or I will paint you out of my life today...468Please respect copyright.PENANAWqUJBBEdgw
As I continued to argue with my reflection in the mirror, things took an unexpected turn.
Oh!468Please respect copyright.PENANAg1aV6Q692x
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. 468Please respect copyright.PENANArUmWhjf6z2
"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.468Please respect copyright.PENANAuD01UCdUst
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.468Please respect copyright.PENANAQqifiqOIjh
"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'.468Please respect copyright.PENANALkdebg8AtV
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.468Please respect copyright.PENANAdabV0uGD8f
When the light had dissipated, the entity was gone. Frightened, exhausted and totally confused,
I collapsed onto the couch. 468Please respect copyright.PENANAia9vvRKpLC
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.468Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y83dDNqjT
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.468Please respect copyright.PENANAqIA82bsYAs
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.468Please respect copyright.PENANAynQEeLC8t1
