♠I walked through the emptiness...♣
She was falling. Falling. Falling.
She had touched that mirror. She wasn’t quite sure what had happened, but suddenly she was in a world she didn’t understand. Everyone was walking in the middle of the street, the cars mounting the sidewalks. It was New York, upside down. There were rich men leering at her, bums who simply ignored her. She saw a woman in expensive fur coats, tiara in her golden hair, dark lashes curving over flawless skin begging for money. She ran. Faster and faster and faster. The street seemed to stretch on forever, each silver, windowed building looming over her, foretelling her death, sparkling in the early morning light. Or was it late evening? The red light of the sun bounced off of her steel, new age jewelry , making specks of color flash across the porcelain skin that made up her face, pale and frightened. She passed a open door of a shop and darted inside. Panting, she studied her surroundings carefully. The fear welled up in her, though she didn’t quite know why. All there was in front of her was just a plain old store filled with mirrors. She passed each one, watching her reflection curiously. The lime eyes looked at her steadily. Her face had the tiny shimmer of light that was coming from the door. It was then that she noticed that all of the lights were off and there was only one window, and that was on the door. The tiny bits of light bounced of the mirrors in a way that reminded her of spoiled honey.
Mirrors...
She stopped in front of a tall mirror that didn’t look too much different than the one standing in her room. She saw a blur of a person behind her before she was pushed into the mirror. Instead of crashing into it and falling to the ground, she fell into it. And again she was falling... falling. Falling.
She jerked up in bed, sweating. She looked frantically around to find the mirror or some remnants of a broken one. Her breathing slowed as she realized that she was in her room. She sighed and flopped back onto her many pillows, flipping over and burying her face in them. It was just a dream.
Just a dream.
