Freedom's Mirror

Freedom's Mirror By: Julia Rowland

Freedom's Mirror: This title describes it all. The freedom in this case is the genie's freedom that he is granted spontaneously. Now that he has broken the chains that held him back from experiencing a new life, and he changes his expectations of what he thought his life was supposed to be, he is free to make any decisions he wants. However, the choices that he does make have repercussions, as do all choices that define who we are and who we will become. I chose the word mirror because when looking in a mirror, nothing is as it seems, and everything seems to be the opposite of what you know to be your reality. Therefore Freedom's Mirror means that freedom from the genie's responsibility may not be as beneficial or exciting as he thinks, and might cause different effects and consequences for different people. But what could they be? Besides, he has magic. What could possibly go wrong? Read and find out.

'The roaring voice of the wind outside, blowing the boundaries of reality off their hinges, had ceased. The storm that before had seemed to drench the world in harsh rain had withdrawn until only the trickling sound of a slight drizzle could be heard, contradicting the volume of the supposedly senseless storm in my own mind, swirling with maybes and buts. As old expectations of my life flew out of reach, all that was left was the improbable.'
