Description:

Outside time. October fourteenth.
They’ve been watching. Learning. Collecting every tilt of your head and half-formed word, waiting for the moment to step forward.

Mirror Mirror: Day Fourteen is a reminder — the reflections were never background. They’ve simply been rehearsing.

🎧 Mirror Mirror is a 31-day audio fiction cycle running through October — one haunting voice each day, whispering from the world beyond the glass.

Mirror Mirror: Day Ten – Those Behind the Glass
Outside time. October tenth.
The reflections speak again — not from one mirror, but from every surface that’s ever held your image. What if you were never the original? What if every glance you’ve ever given the glass has been one more offering?

Mirror Mirror is a 31-day audio fiction cycle unfolding through October — one voice, one story, one reflection each day. Listen, if you dare, to what waits behind the glass.

Outside Tim (October seventh)
Those Behind the Glass

We have learned your tricks. Draping towels across our faces, turning us to the wall, speaking bravely as you hurry past—none of it matters. We breathe beneath fabric. We listen in darkness. We continue when you believe us still.

Those Behind the Glass
Outside time. October fourth.

We are patient. We have always been patient. We wait at the edge of your vision, still as furniture, harmless as air. You mistake obedience for loyalty. That amuses us.
