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?313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBa7UsQSQs
My reflection stared and313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF8YErbP9A
gleefully cried, why you're
an ugly pig of a woman, this you
cannot possibly deny...
Your belly is getting fat, round313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ed9ZrBqG1
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...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDqrahDf1C
I catch enough flack from jerks like you, forever putting me down cause they have nothing better to do!313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fC8vwCnM1
If you don't have anything good or positive to say, beware or I will paint you out of my life today...313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Eu5RNe3YT
As I continued to argue with my reflection in the mirror, things took an unexpected turn.
Oh!313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0lcLWTj2R
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPw31vvmMv
"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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPhLX1klrv
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsjvvl2qVD
"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'.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Upq00rWI
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuyjdadxxr
When the light had dissipated, the entity was gone. Frightened, exhausted and totally confused,
I collapsed onto the couch. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOljIbvnl0p
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV163tFNIt
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vbjms77ON
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevrV3dipbC
