Literature Text

I am my own twin. I mimic the movements of myself in the objects that shine back. My twin doesn't know I exist. She calls me a reflection. I want to scream and shout and change our movements, but she thinks that I don't exist.

She imagines she is the conscious one, that I have no ability to do anything but reflect back to her. She doesn't see me move us during the night, she isn't aware of the adventures she says when her parents say she "sleep walks".

I live in a world of "reflections" where we watch our twins make faces, where we help them put on their make-up and fix their hair. Where we give them whispered flattery when they need to perk up and tear them down when they've gotten too big of a head.

We are the conscious, the esteem, the ego, the id, the subconscious, the mind, the reflection of the soul. The soul.

I am my own twin, but I still don't know.
I was playing with an idea I've had for a while about a land beyond the mirrors.
