“What is that?!” Mirabelle squeaked. “It’s so ugly!“
I'm 'a homeschooler' because cookie-making writing artistic animal-whisperer isn't a job title
September 20, 2021 at 9:37 pm #104647“Wait, what is it? A monster!”
“pphhtt, it’s you” Mirabelle said standing up.
September 21, 2021 at 1:01 pm #104652Mirabelle hid her mouth behind her hand, giggling as I seethed.

If hours don't turn into daysSeptember 23, 2021 at 5:03 pm #104702Mirabelle crossed her arms, “We’ve never seen anything, how is there anything there to see or hear us?”
I shrugged, I was the only witness to the supernatural goings-on in the night. “One thing you never consider is how we have an endless supply of spaghetti.”
We crazy people are the normal ones.

Mirabelle and I whirled towards the pantry in the corner of the kitchen.
Standing in the pantry was a figure feasting on the last raspberry Poptart.
Flawless and handsome (as ruled by my grandmother.)
September 23, 2021 at 9:20 pm #104707Fear rippled through my body and I grabbed the closest thing in reach (which happened to be a mostly empty domino’s pizza box) and chucked it at the figure.
The pizza box bounced harmlessly off the figure’s back, and it spun around Poptart box still in hand.
My heart dropped to my feet; that figure… that person… that thing, was me.
September 23, 2021 at 9:33 pm #104708Mirabelle looked at it nervously, unconsciously moving closer to me, her previous confidence dissipating as she looked at it, confused and nervous.
“Another reflection?”
I shifted my hand over on the kitchen’s island counter next to me, once again grabbing the closest weapon in reach–a rubber spatula.September 23, 2021 at 10:03 pm #104710I wielded my spatula boldly and with confidence, albeit somewhat wavering below the surface.
“Oh. Hey, man,” the figure—me—the thing—I don’t even know crunched up the last of its Poptart, “what’s up?”
It smiled.

if nothing's really real
i'll make the winter now my homeSeptember 24, 2021 at 9:49 am #104713“Remember that time you cheated during Jenga?” It, myself, asked with confidence.
Terrified, I reached the silverware drawer and began hurling forks at my reflection. Unfazed by the cascade of utensils, my duo continued to spill my deepest secrets as Mirabelle’s eyes widened.
Some people fail; others learn what not to try.
September 26, 2021 at 8:56 pm #104740“Did you really think that you could keep this from Mirabelle forever? When we met that night-”
“WHY ARE YOU HERE You were never suppose to come back, you had all the chipotle you could ask for!
Flawless and handsome (as ruled by my grandmother.)
September 26, 2021 at 9:08 pm #104741Mirabelle crossed her arms “Wait, let me get this straight; your double ganger was blackmailing you and you were appeasing him with Chipotle?”
Milo’s double ganger’s smile widened “Yo, your sister is smart lol.”
“She’s ten, of course she’s smart; have you never met a ten year old before?”
September 26, 2021 at 9:25 pm #104743The figure–me–shrugged.
It’s outline seemed to flicker in the light of the kitchen. Then it changed shape.September 27, 2021 at 10:02 pm #104749It took the form of a small cute kitten. Mirabelle, of course, awwed and ran over, picking it up before I could stop her.

If hours don't turn into daysSeptember 28, 2021 at 9:37 am #104750As Mirabelle picked up the smoky gray kitten and began petting it, it transformed itself back into me and grabbed Mirabelle by the wrist.
“Now we have her,” the terrifying version of me stated.
“We????” I screamed, “Let her go or else!!”
