AN URBAN NOVEL | Champion and Chanala- Mirrors could be deceiving. Are there people out there that look in the mirror and are truly happy with the person that they see in the reflective surface? 

Twenty-seven- year-old Champion Ortez McCoy wasn't too sure of that statement. Years of pointless relationships and friendships allowed for him to share mediocre connections with people that he thought were genuine and authentic, only for him to later uncover that the surface of someone was nothing but a layer that needed to be stripped away to reveal the true individual. 


When he comes across twenty-four- year-old Chanala Knights, a woman who is more like him in personality than he expected, he begins to question the value and practicality of life. The other side of the mirror, Past the Mirror, was the meat and flesh of the person that anyone would like to know. 


  What happens when looking past the mirror causes more problems than one would expect?

"He's exactly like me - it's like looking in a mirror...and my reflection is cracked." ~Bruce Wayne A new darkness the likes of which the criminal underworld of Gotham City has never seen before since the rise of the Joker, stalks its streets every night.

BATMAN: Black Mirror is an interconnecting tale of two people who come from different places in life, yet meet in the middle to reflect opposite sides of the same being.

What choices would he have had to make in order to survive and would his already suffocating darkness grow deeper and mixed with an endless need for violence and revenge. These are the questions Bruce constantly asks himself, but they become more profound when he meets a young orphaned Eli sitting before the Wayne's graves. He's not like other children and it disturbs Bruce that the child seems to perfectly reflect the darkest parts of his soul.

Women had no problem falling at his feet just to get a taste or bragging rights to say that they were in his presence, but after a while, sex and thirsty women became irrelevant to him. He was an only child and the saddest thing about that was knowing that his own parents didn't want him. At the tender age of 3, they gave him up for adoption where he bounced from different foster cares, fighting any and everybody for his respect and teaching himself the ropes of the dope game. During his 14th birthday, his life took a quick turn, but the old him was fighting with the new version that was trying to adapt to being in the presence of someone who actually wanted better for him. He was slowly but surely trying to turn his life around and retire from his gangsta lifestyle, but something was holding him back. ©️ _jasthewriter aka xjasrenae 2020-2022
