One: Leo
We three of us were all sitting together on the couch flipping through the T.V. channels, bored out of our minds. Or at least I was. Everything on T.V. were reruns. Deciding that I no longer wanted to sit around and do nothing, I formed an idea. Turning off the T.V., I looked at the two others that were with me. Lara and Charlotte.
"Why don't we go and do something?" I asked.
Lara was the first one to react.
"Let's go!" she exclaimed, jumping off the couch.
I smiled at her. Charlotte stood up hesitantly, but muttered and "okay" and came with us.
Lara and I ran for the door while Charlotte trailed behind us. The three of us piled into my old hand me down car, and we were on our way.
Lara was laughing as we sped down the streets and I couldn't help the smile that broke my face. I glanced back and let out a chuckle when I saw Charlotte gripping her seat belt like her life depended on it.
After we drove for about five minutes (probably should have been ten) before we came to a screeching halt in the parking lot of an old antique shop. I had read about the place online and wanted to check it out.
"Guys? Are you sure this is safe?" Charlotte asked as Lara and I walked through the door.
"Come on Charlotte! Don't be such a wuss!" Lara teased her.
I smiled at the two of them. Charlotte was always the cautious one.
After a few seconds of what seemed like internal debate, Charlotte followed Lara and I inside the antique shop. As soon as we crossed the threshold, a woman popped out from behind a stack of books and greeted us into the shop. She asked if we needed anything. Although I would never admit it, that woman scared the crap out of me. So, I shook my head 'no' and the three of us walked further into the store.
As we walked, I noticed a mirror. It was the creepiest thing I'd ever seen in my life.
"Whoa! Guys, check this out!" I said, pointing at the mirror.
It seemed like it might be a fun house mirror to me. It showed a reflection of me, but I looked completely different.
Lara and Charlotte came towards me and looked at the mirror in disbelief. The three of us stood there in the reflection, like any normal mirror, but we looked different.
"Touch it," Lara whispered.
Charlotte looked at Lara like she was crazy.
"Touch the mirror, Charlotte," Lara said to her.
Charlotte shook her head no and tried to back away but I stopped her.
"Come on Charlotte! It'll be fine! It's just a mirror!" I told her.
Charlotte looked back and forth between Lara and I before taking a step back towards the mirror. She sighed and reached out to skim the surface of the mirror with the tip of her fingers. As she did, a tingling feeling crept through my body. It felt as if the ground had opened up beneath me and swallowed me.
I yelled out in fear and surprise. I didn't stop yelling until I felt the ground beneath my hands and knees.

Peace for now. Stay alive.
