The Mirror (Part 2)

The devil's smile looked back at the man. He continued to stare back at his own twisted reflection, and concluded that he was dreaming. There was no other explanation to it. He lived a very normal life and out of those twenty years he had never experienced something this supernatural. Reflections don't smile at you for any reason unless it was a dream.

He placed his toothbrush on the counter and headed back to his bedroom. He lay down on his bed which sat up against the wall in the middle of the room, and waited for himself to wake up. After five minutes nothing happened. He tried closing his eyes to see if that would help, but still nothing happened. He sat back up and sighed. He rubbed his temples trying to figure out how to wake up from this dream. He hadn't realized earlier but his heart racing. He heard it beating through his chest. His hands were shaking as well and he had no idea what was going on.

"Am I going crazy?" He asked himself. What he did next he wasn't sure what his reasons were for doing it, but he got out of bed and walked across the hallway into the bathroom to once again to look at his reflection.

He slammed his hands on the counter and stared at his himself. Everything was normal. He looked at his reflection and saw the look of frustration across his face. There was no smile to seen. He covered his face with his hands and slowly dragged them down his face. "What in the world is going on?" He said out loud.

"What do you think is going on?" A strange yet familiar voice said.

The man immediately stood up and looked around. There was no one to be seen. He was alone in the bathroom and in the apartment. A mysterious voice just spoke to him and he didn't know where it came from. A scary thought passed through his mind. He considered that his reflection responded to his question, but like everything else it seemed ridiculous. He looked at his reflection and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"If you're thinking that I was the one who responded then you are correct." The reflection said with confidence, but with the same confusing look the man had on his face.
