An old
mirror hangs at the end of a hallway.
Very few who walked past it ever pay much attention to it. There is nothing fancy about the frame and
the lighting in the hall is not that inviting, or flattering.
The ones that actually take notice of the mirror see instantly what it is and are either intrigued by it
or frightened. Reflections in the mirror are not in the present. Everyone
standing directly in front of it is reflected as they will look in the future.
It isn’t known exactly how far
into the future the reflections are, but if you do not appear in the
reflection, it is because you will no longer be around. The few aware of the mirror’s power do not
want to know if they’ll be dead, so they always avoid looking into it, or even
talking about it.
I heard about it from a
co-worker. She seemed to think it was
some trick the building manager has set up, so she treats it like it is a
joke. I don’t know one way or the other
but still wanted a picture of it for my blog, so I stood off to the side and
snapped this photograph. If it is, in
fact, some computer trick, it is a good one.
