Writing – The Mirror

It is 1958 in a town near Turkey in where there have been many disappearances of people, without a trace, but in many different rooms, which makes it impossible to discover the reason for those killings. Unfortunately, the situation had escalated to the point that a guy lost the only thing that he loved, his family: his three brothers and his mother, Milly. They moved to that house in the center of the city to begin a new life, but the house where the things happened was very interesting because when you appear in front of the door you couldn’t see the house, it was as if nothing was there, you could only see your own cross reflection. The house was only “impressive” but all the rest was dark and very confusing. When they passed the family to the house, they didn’t feel safe in the house, and in the middle of the night, the youngest son, Daniel, was bullied for his appearance. He was a bit sad, and that is how he got there; he had had a mirror, and when he saw himself, his appearance had hurt him a lot.

Every time he saw the mirror, he could find something bad in himself, and one day, there was a voice that the felt was from the mirror. It was a man’s voice. The mirror is not made of glass; it is a portal to a 4th time dimension that worked as a dark, sinister age. He only had a voice, he told him, “Until you finally see your value and report this horrible problem you’re going to be locked forever.” That was invisible because the other world was at the same time, that’s what made it different. But the little child was scared, so he go in his cage and stayed in bed all day until nightfall. He decided to go and find the voice to see once and for all how he looked from that world.

He brought a lighter to see himself in the mirror and a man was with him and told him:

“Could you trade me your lighter to get out?”

He finally gave it to him. The man grabbed the lighter and forced it go outside with how you all help. Daniel, being so scared, told him that he wants to go back.

A chilling voice told him, “Daniel, you forgot to grab your lighter.” He turned around and saw a box for his light.

But the man grabbed the equivalent can of gasoline and set him on fire with the lighter while the other Daniel enjoyed his life in that world. Assuming that he is the one who basically killed the little Daniel.
