Something strange happens every now and then when I look in the mirror. It’s happened ever since I can remember. I used to tell people about what I saw but they thought I was cute or playing pretend, so I never really talked about it since I was little. The last time I mentioned it my friends actually thought I was crazy, and friends are hard enough for me to make so I don’t want to scare off the few that I have.

I want to make a record of what’s going on, just in case something crazy happens and I disappear, or worse. I don’t know if they would be able to do anything about it but it might help I guess. Maybe it’s just so I can make sense of everything I don’t know I just thought it might help somehow.

Ok, so I should probably explain. Ever since I can remember, sometimes when I look in the mirror I don’t see my exact reflection. I see versions of me from the past and future. When it happens we just kind of stare at eachother. I get paralyzed as soon as I realize and we make eye contact. It takes every ounce of stregth I have to pull away and break eye contact. As soon as I do the reflection disappears. I don’t think they’ve ever meant any harm and my reflections look just as frightened and surprised as me sometimes.

When the reflections are younger it’s weird seeing myself when I was a little kid. Sometimes I remember being that little kid looking at myself now, and I try to comfort him with a smile before walking out. When my reflection is older than me it gets kind of weird. Sometimes they smile at me like I do to my younger self, and it’s interesting seeing how I grow up. But other times my reflection just looks sad and it looks like they feel sorry for me.

It never happens when other people are around and it’s not very often. Well, it used to not happen very often. Lately it’s been happening more and more. Normally they don’t really bother me but they’ve been getting strange. Sometimes my reflection has weird clothes on or has confusing looking devices in their hands.

I wish we could talk to eachother or use sign language or something but as soon as I break eye contact or move out of the paralysis they dissapsear.

What made me finally write all of this down is this last reflection. It really scared me. When I saw the reflection they were older than my reflections usually are which was already out of the ordinary. They had very weird clothes on that didn’t look like anything else I’ve seen. But the strangest part was their eyes were glowing blue.
