A Mirror Image

Have you ever saw something out of the corner or your eye? Just a blur that for a second, your mind believes is truly waiting on the other side of your vision. You momentarily tense up, your heart preparing for adrenaline to be pumped from one end of your body to the other. Thoughts are raging through your mind, fighting for control like dogs, taught to go for the death. Teeth are bared, about to penetrate the rough and scarred skin of your mind when you find absolutely nothing. Your heart slows, and your teeth go in hiding until the next time the light flickers of its own accord, the radio changes or the door loudly slams shut, while you are sitting peacefully in your living room. Maybe there is a reason, let me explain mine to you.
