TBM-Mirror Mirror: Day Eight

by

Mirror Mirror - Day 8

Description:

A janitor working nights in a Newark school starts to notice the reflections in the trophy cases behaving strangely. Faces from old team photos seem to move, to follow him across the hall. When he looks closer, he realizes the glass is full of people who shouldn’t be there at all.

This is Episode Eight of Mirror, Mirror, a story cycle of thirty-one monologues on Tales from the Tub. Each stands alone, but together they reveal what happens when reflections stop obeying.

This is Episode Six of Mirror, Mirror, a story cycle of thirty-one monologues on Tales from the Tub. Each stands alone, but together they reveal what happens when reflections stop obeying.
