I started writing this story last night because I was unable to sleep, tonight I have finsihed the story, enjoy :)
A man stares down a door, what does he see? He ventures further to inspect this odd occurrence. All of the sudden the door opens and the man sees himself.
This is not an ordinary door. For it is a spooky door. The man gazes at what appears to be his reflection. This reflection says hi to the man. The man is puzzled at this. How can this be he ponders? The man decides to inquiry the reflection. "Wha.wha.what or who are you?", the man nervously asks.
The reflection responds, "Ask not what or where but why and when." The man is angered at the reply but he decides to play along with his mirror self.
"When and why are you here?", the man reluctantly asks. The reflection stares deep into the man's eyes and scans him up and down. The reflection leans in close to the man and begins to speak, "I have come from a far and distant land on the wings of a great craft in order to warn you of something."
The man's heart begins to beat very rapidly, thoughts start buzzing into his mind. Who is this?, what is it that he needs to warn me of?, where has he came from? The man concentrates and pulls himself together, "What is it that you must warn me of and where have you came from." The reflection begins to chuckle as he clasps his hands over his mouth. The reflection begins to speak, "I have traveled here from a Romania and I am your lost twin brother."
The man is very surprised at what he has just learned but he worries still. The man asks, "What is it that you have come to warn me off and how exactly did you get here?" The reflection responds very quickly, "I have traveled here to warn you of a great disaster that will happen, oh, and I came here on a jet." The reflection gets a smirk on his face and begins to speak, “I have to warn you that there is a rift in time that is about to open and....” The door begins to quickly open and close and a gust of wind shoots throughout the house. The man is very is terrified, he tries to speak but his voice is muffled by the wind.
The door now begins to violently shake and the floor of the house starts to quake. The wind dives down for a second and the man asks the reflection, “Where is this rift and what happens if I go through it.?” The reflection responds, “The rift will open up directly beneath you and if you were to fall into it you would be transported to a new stream of time.” The floor starts to shake vigorously and the light bulbs in the room burst. They are both in complete darkness now. The man begins to sink into the floor quickly. The reflection shouts, “You gotta get out of there, grab my hand!” The man shouts, “I cannot see you.” The man is now half-way into the rift. The man blindly reaches out for the reflections hand. Miraculously he finds the reflection's hand. The reflection struggles to pull the man out of the rift. The reflection's efforts are not enough. The man gets engulfed by the rift and the reflection follows shortly after. The reflection shakes free of the man's grasp. The rift closes. The man has been lost in time. The reflection looks around the house and begins to weep. What has become of the man?
No one knows for sure? The End.
