The other side of the
mirror
I wake up before the sunrise, I breathe deeply and I sigh, “One more
night” I say to myself. I walk around the room and I don’t see anything
strange, “Come on! There’s nothing here, it was just a dream, real” I try to
convince myself. I walk slowly to the bathroom, and I don’t switch on the light,
my head is going to explode and that’s enough. When I’m on the door I recheck
the new room: “relax” I retell myself. I walk to the bathroom sink, and I stop in
front of it. I open the tap and I hinder the gush and I remove my limb
immediately, “so cold” I think. I move the tap and I wet my face three times
and I watch the mirror, my facial expression starts changing. It expresses
horror or hate, I don’t really know.
-Hi, again- says the mirror figure to me
-Go out! - I threaten her.
-We’ve got to stay together.
-Never again- I say angrily.
-You need me, accept it.
-Shut up! - I scream at her and I punch the mirror with my fist.
- If you are not with me, you won’t stay with any one- she says
screaming.
-No! - I immediately shout but it’s so late. She is stabbing herself
with a piece of mirror.
-Forever together- she laughs.
The Madhouse
I was
watching TV when someone called me. I ran to take the phone and I said:
-Hello?- but nobody answered me. I suspected that it was a joke, and I went on
watching TV again. A few seconds later, someone called me again. I took the
phone and I said: -Please, this is not funny, don’t call me again.- but someone
answered me: -Please! I need help! They want to kill me! They want to kill me!
Jane! Jane! Please…- and then the call finished. She was my cousin, Jade. Who
wanted to kill her? I was very worried. When I turned back I saw something that
scared me a lot. Someone had written on my TV: ‘’you are the next’’. I ran to
see what this was, and I discovered that it was made with blood. I was very
afraid, and I decided to call my cousin Jade. Nobody answered me. I turned my
face again, and I saw something in the sofa: -Jade? Jade! Is it you?- I ran to
see her face, but when I arrived at the sofa, nobody was sitting. Someone was
in my house, and it wasn’t my cousin. I ran all around the house, and I
couldn’t find anything. Then I listened
to something from the bathroom. It was like water. I entered very quickly, and
I saw a girl having a shower: -Who are you?-. She turned her face. I was very
surprised, but she didn’t have eyes, nose or mouth. I closed my eyes and I
opened them again. I was dreaming, it was just a dream. When I opened them
again the girl was not in the shower…
-And you
say that you see her everyday, right?- said the doctor.
-Of course!
She is my friend!- I said.
-Okay,
welcome to the Madhouse…
