Down the stairs, I went in a spiral.
Down to the dark cave furnished only with a mirror and a lectern.
In the ancient open book I could read words in a language not spoken since the beginning of time. The mirror’s surface trembled, and in the distance I could see a shadow approaching fast. The perspectives were perverted and the sight filled my mind with madness.
Before the abnormal creature stretched its tentacles outside the frame, I managed with my last sanity to throw the book in the mirror and shatter the glass.
Since that day, I fear mirrors.
