I can't help but to feel weird everytime I go outside. I just feel like someone is following me, but if I do go outside, there isn't anyone near by, anyone that would make me feel like this. The feeling of someone being there is even bigger when I'm around mirrors, just mirrors. The feeling of being sick.

Feeling sick, that's how I describe it. Maybe there is a better word for this. It makes me feel empty. It makes me yearn for something, something I can't describe. So at one point I just couldn't take it anymore and I threw away all of my mirrors in my apartment. I even had to make my best friend hide all of the mirrors or I would go crazy. 

Even if I threw away all of my mirrors years ago, I feel like I need one now. To feel that feeling again, the feeling of yearning for something. It made me curious years ago, to know what that weird feeling was, but I was scared then. But I'm not anymore.

So that's why I am here, at the store, standing in front of the mirrors. The same feeling I haven't felt for so long is back, the feeling of emptyness. Of course the feeling is everywhere, but it's stronger now, around all of these mirrors. The mirrors are all different shapes and sizes, but they have the same efect, the feeling of something being there. I don't bother staying for long, and just grab the most noraml looking one.

Paying for the mirror and thanking the cashier, I go out of the store while putting the mirror in my bag. I can feel the weird aura coming from it and I try my best not to pay any attention to it. It's a nice day, can't just ruin it with an empty feeling.


When I get home, I dig out my keys and enter my small apartment. When I get to the living room, I take the mirror carefully out of my bag and place it onto the table. I feel tired right now, so i'll be going to bed. I'll take my time with the mirror tomorrow. It can wait.
