Mirror of Shadows
“The phone rang many times that evening and she only looked at the caller ID to see that it was Matt calling aside from one call from Marlin.
Surely both were checking up on her but she did not want to talk to anyone. She wanted only to find her kitten who must be very scared and hungry after two days. She must have fallen asleep for a bit, for when she woke the sky was dark. A fire had been built in the fireplace of her room and an old quilt she had found in a blanket chest had been pulled over... her. A sandwich, a left over cookie from Meme’s tin, and an unopened Pepsi can sat on the nightstand. Jeremy must have been up to check on her.
She wasn’t hungry and she didn’t get up; she just closed her eyes again and reached for Boo only to remember that she wasn’t there. Her heart tore a little bit more as tears fell to the pillow and she went back into a restless sleep.
She found herself in a familiar swirling blackness and once more, walking down the stairs.
The mirror—it must be calling me somehow, she thought as her body moved forward despite what her mind wanted.MoreLess
