The Mixed Mirror

from the Sean M. archive

Mark sat on the table and watched the TV; there was a very strange program about mystics and ghostly spirits. It looked boring so he changed the channel, but he was surprised to find the same program on all channels – “Damn cable TV’s fucked again” he said.

If he’d looked behind him it would be obvious he had more to worry about as his reflection in the mirror turned and reached out for Mark’s back.

Mark’s facsimile hand broke through the boundary of the mirror and chilled hand touched his back. Suddenly Mark felt dizzy and their positions swapped; the original was in the mirror copying facsimile movements in the real world.

The spirit smiled at Mark trapped in the mirror, Mark could only smile back...

  2. Another of one of my early ones, words are a little awkward but hey.. good to look back sometimes.

    BTH I'm working on one that will make this one look like a kids story - should be interesting to see what people think when its published.
