Reflection, Interrupted

I start my morning as I do everyday by checking myself in the mirror. I stare at my face and then…suddenly, my eyes blink. How can I watch myself blink? 

In a flash, the entity in the mirror begins to reach out of it and I feel a cold hand on my arm. The entity yanks me in as we change positions. Now I’m its reflection! We stare at each other. I bang on the barrier separating me from my world, but my mirror body refuses to return and let me back in. I watch helplessly as it grabs my school bag and begins to leave, but not before it grabs the sheet off my bed. In horror, I watch as the entity covers the mirror.

I can’t see out.

No one can see me.

I hear the door creak and a loud slam.

I’m alone. Forever.
